A gentle guide to ease any nerves
What the call is (& isn’t)
This isn’t a therapy session — it's a brief, informal conversation to see if we’re a good fit to work together. You don’t have to prepare anything formal or have all the right words. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.
You Don’t Have to Share Everything
You can share as much or as little as you’d like. It's okay if you're not sure how to describe what you’re going through—we can figure that out together. Even just saying “I’m not sure how to start” is a perfectly fine place to begin.
You’re Welcome to Ask:
What a typical session might look like

Anything else you’re curious about!
A Few Things We Might Cover:

A Safe Space
Even though this isn’t a session, it’s still a safe and private space. It's okay to feel nervous or unsure - I’m here to make this process as comfortable and respectful as possible.
