You can call, send an e-mail or directly fill in the contact form on this website for booking an appointment. I will respond to your inquiry shortly.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

In the initial consultation, we will address your concerns and discuss therapy goals. I will explain my therapeutic framework. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the best indicator of the success in therapy. Therefore, this session is free of charge and it is an opportunity for you to assess whether your therapist is a good match for your personality.
