GETTING STARTED

Getting started is simple. Click the Book Now button to schedule your free 15 minute consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, discuss what you are looking for, and determine if we are a good fit.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I will ask about what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals. It is a relaxed and conversational session with no pressure.
