WHAT TO EXPECT
our work together
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Your first and second session are a bit discounted: in the first session, we will go over a Safety Protocol to ensure that we’re an appropriate fit to work together, and so that I can assist you in finding additional help if needed. The second session involves a more detailed client intake form so I can better understand your history and your intentions for moving forward. After these first two sessions, there is no agenda; I will meet you where you are and we will use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) - informed approach to help you bring healing energy to any conflicts you’re experiencing internally or externally.
You can read more about Internal Family Systems here.
