  • That’s totally okay! It’s more common than you’d think. I’ll guide the conversation and ask questions to help us figure out where to start. Sometimes the best sessions happen when we just follow where the conversation naturally goes.

  • Yes—what you share stays between us. There are a few exceptions (like safety concerns), and I’ll explain those clearly up front so you know what to expect.
