YOU CAN EXPECT

• Coping mechanisms to allow you to work through situations which typically cause you anxiety, fear, or avoidance.
• Stress-management techniques to apply to deal with stress within your everyday life, such as with your job and family.
• Skills and techniques to help you better navigate relationships, or to work through relationship troubles.
• Problem solving skills for you to enact when you encounter issues which may typically have caused you to shy away or back down, such as social situations or public speaking.
• Improving communication, listening, and the ability to speak up for yourself.
• Understanding your own skills, strengths, and positive attributes and learning to quiet your inner negative critique.

There are a wide variety of reasons why clients reach out for assistance.   That is why we work closely with you to develop a customized plan based on your individual circumstances.

What to expect on our first visit?

Your first session has two main goals:

1. Assess your circumstances

We will take the first meeting to assess your current circumstances. While my areas of expertise may be consistent with your reasons for coming.   From there, we will be able to better determine what type of services that are right for you and what it will entail.  In addition, I may provide you with series of actions to work on outside of our sessions, such as practice a certain technique, or read a specific book, as you take on a proactive role in building the success you seek.

2. Build a relationship

Our first session will be more like a two way interview. I’ll get to know you, and you’ll get to know me. I will ask you questions to help me better understand your primary issues and concerns, as well as the history that lead to your current situation.

You are welcome to ask questions too since it is imperative we establish a relationship that is supportive and honest. In fact, it is the nature – and the quality – of our relationship that will determine the success of our working together.

• You can expect to be presented with someone who is available to listen to you and listen to your interpretation of what you are currently experiencing.
• You can expect to receive knowledgeable and scientifically backed techniques and information to assist you in overcoming any struggles we are seeking to address.
• You can expect to be treated with compassion, empathy, respect, and understanding.
• You can expect to receive real strategies and techniques you can use to enact positive changes on your life.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you reach your goals.
