Step 2 : Free 15-Minute Zoom Consultation

We’ll meet virtually for a brief consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer questions, and explore whether my approach may align with what you’re looking for. There is no obligation to continue after the consultation.

Step 3 : Complete Your Intake Forms

If we decide to move forward, you'll receive access to my secure client portal where you can complete your intake paperwork, review informed consent documents, and schedule your first appointment.

Step 4 : Begin Therapy

Our first 50-minute session focuses on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and the goals you'd like to work toward.

I generally recommend meeting weekly as we begin, with session frequency adjusted over time based on your needs and goals.

Take the time you need. Questions are welcome.

My goal is to offer a clear and supportive process—from our first conversation through each stage of your care.
