How To Become A Client

Schedule a Consultation

  1. Schedule your free phone consultation

    Pick a time below that works for you. The consultation is twenty minutes and there's no cost.

    You're welcome to ask any clinical questions, share what's bringing you to therapy, and learn more about how I work before deciding to begin.

  3. If it feels like a fit, we schedule your first session

    We'll find a recurring weekly time that works.

  4. Complete the intake paperwork

    It's all standard and straightforward — you'll receive everything by email.
