Message to clients

I am so glad that you chose to work on the most important thing in life and that is YOU. This was such a big step whether this is the first step to you ever doing this or you are coming back around to working on you again. I want to let you know that as we both begin this journey there is something that I appreciate is being in order, I'm sure that comes from my military background or the zodiac sign in me (I will let you guess). My process is this: 1. Set up a phone consultation (right here on Zencare you can do that). 2. Get your insurance information (if you are using) or a fee quote if you are paying out of your pocket. 3. send you an invitation to complete all intake paperwork 4. Once all intake paperwork is completed on your end, set up a time date and place for your 1st intake session.

My hope for this journey with each and everyone of my clients is that you leave this experience understanding more about yourself, feeling better about yourself, and feeling courageous about the changes you want to make for yourself because YOU absolutely deserve it!
