I look forward to exploring your goals and collaborating in our work to achieve them.

Generally, I encourage work between sessions. This may vary depending on what goals we are working on. If we are working on mindfulness, your homework may be to take a walk and count how many times your mind is distracted. If we are exploring specific events from your past, homework may dive deeper into emotions surrounding memories using writing exercises.
