Continued collaboration
Schedule an appointment & complete forms
schedule a consultation
assess if you feel i may be a good therapist for you
I look at our work as a collaboration between us and ask that you let me know if you would like to go in a certain direction or if you're wanting something different from our sessions.
Schedule an appointment using my website or emailing me. Before our first appointment, I will have you complete some forms online.
To start, let's talk on the phone for 15-25 minutes. You can tell me a little bit about what's bringing you to counseling and I can answer any questions you have about my services.
After we speak, please take some time to understand how the call felt for you and assess if you think I may be a good match for you.
It's super important to me that you find the right therapist. here are some questions i encourage you to ask yourself during our consultation
good questions to ask yourself
How did I feel during the consultation?
Does this feel like someone with whom I can be open about my fears, hopes and goals around therapy?
Did I feel listened and attended to during the conversation?
Do I feel that this therapist can help and support me?
