What to Expect

You may reach out to me by phone, email, or by scheduling a free 15-minute consult online. We’ll start with a brief video call to see if we’re feeling mutually aligned in style and expectations. If we decide to move ahead, I will send you my Intake documents for background and assessment. Please complete these before our first appointment. I use Simple Practice for all electronic health records needs including: document-sharing, HIPAA-compliant videos, and payment processing.

During the first few sessions, I’ll gather information to expand upon your Intake form. I will inquire about background information, your goals in therapy, and what’s gone well, or not, in prior therapy experiences. Together, we will begin developing our counseling relationship, with my approach tailored to your needs.

Therapy takes our collective efforts to achieve healing. It’s not an easy task, precisely because the self-deep-dive is a big ask. Healing old wounds requires we first clean them out. Exploring topics which you’ve long shut-away may feel, at times, challenging. I’ll be right there with you on your journey. You can expect to gain insight into history and yourself, as well as skills to implement strategies for behavior change. You are not fated to forever continue your current status quo.
