Patients can expect a lot of open-ended questions geared at getting to know what is bringing them to counseling and also exploring some of the underlying issues/ roots of those concerns. Questions will be asked with compassion, understanding, and non-judgement. 

Patients have thanked me for helping them find themselves and assisting them with learning how to help themselves. They have gained personal insight and understanding as well as tools to help them navigate things to come.
