What To Expect
When you come in for an initial appointment, it is an opportunity to spend an hour discussing who you are, what you like about your life, and what you would like to change. I believe by learning about your history and your strengths, I am able to understand how to help you make changes and choices that will enrich your life.
Understanding who you are overall, in many areas of your life, is important for me to help facilitate change. The first meeting is an opportunity to learn whether you could feel comfortable working with me, as a team, to improve your life. Your motivation to change is a very important part of the process.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help you on your journey to a more postive and healthy lifestyle.
