—  Schedule an Initial Visit  —

Getting started with psychotherapy can feel intimidating or overwhelming, especially if this is your first experience working with a mental health professional. My goal is to help this process feel as smooth as possible, and to help you get your needs met. 

The first step is setting up a 20 minute phone consultation. I offer this service at no cost to you. The goal of the initial phone consult is to get a sense of the reasons you are seeking psychotherapy at this time and to determine if I might be a good fit for your needs. It also provides the opportunity to review the process of psychotherapy and answer the questions important to you. If at the end of the 20 minutes we both feel comfortable moving forward, we will discuss next steps and schedule your initial session. 

Prior to the initial session, you will be asked to fill out a first session packet which includes forms detailing client information and personal health history. Please be prepared with the information needed to complete these forms. Additionally, you will review my practice policies and informed consent. We will discuss these together during your initial session and answer any questions you may have.
