Beginning therapy is an important step toward change. Here’s what the process looks like, so you know exactly what to expect.

1

Schedule a Free Consultation

You can request a free 15-minute phone consultation by either completing the Contact Form below or directly booking a time in my calendar via the Client Portal link. I typically respond within 48 hours.

2

See If We're a Good Fit

During our phone call, we will discuss what led to seeking therapy and the type of assistance you are looking for. This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions and for me to share my approach, helping you decide whether to set up a first appointment.

3

Begin Your First Session

If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first appointment - either a virtual or in-person visit. You’ll complete intake forms online before we meet, so we can use our time to dive deeper into what led you to therapy and outline your treatment goals.

Do you have a PPO plan?

I have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Use the tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services.
