In a session with me, you are the expert in this interaction. Together we will set the tone for how you would like things to move forward. We will start with informal conversations and things will progress in a natural fashion. Flexibility, understanding, patience and kindness will be the foundation from which the deconstruction of your reality will take place.
An opportunity to meet your practitioner to learn about their practice and compatibility with your hopes for treatment.
