Before We Begin.

Please Note: I am currently taking a brief pause from accepting new clients to integrate and support those I’ve recently welcomed into my practice. I expect to open for new clients again in April. If you’d like to be notified when I have availability, please join my waitlist. I look forward to connecting when the time is right.

Why I Offer a Free 30-Minute Consultation

After 20 years in private practice, I’ve learned that finding the right therapeutic fit is essential for meaningful and lasting progress. Even when you come to therapy with a specific issue that seems like it could be resolved in just a few sessions, therapy often uncovers the complex, interconnected layers within us. Our thoughts, emotions, and experiences are intricately linked, making true healing a journey that typically unfolds over a year or more.

Just like any significant relationship, the therapeutic relationship is foundational to your success. It’s important to ensure that both of us feel comfortable and confident working together from the very beginning. If the connection doesn’t feel right initially, it’s crucial to recognize that and seek what truly supports your growth.

That’s why I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation, either via Zoom or phone. This initial session provides an opportunity for us to:

• Get to Know Each Other: We’ll discuss your goals and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

• Assess Compatibility: You’ll get a sense of my approach and style, and I’ll understand your needs and preferences.

• Feel the Connection: It’s important that our interactions feel natural and supportive, laying the groundwork for a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship.

• Plan Ahead: We can discuss how regular sessions might look and ensure that our schedules align for a long-term commitment to your well-being.

My goal is to ensure that our collaboration feels right for you, setting the stage for a productive and enriching therapeutic journey.

All new clients begin with a free consultation call. This allows us to connect, discuss your needs, and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
