Get Started

First, here is some general info you may need to know before reaching out. Take a moment to read through a few of my policies and procedures then proceed to the instructions below.

How to Become a Client

If you’re thinking therapy might help, the best way to find out is to start a conversation.

Step 1: Complete the New Client Inquiry Form

Tell me a bit about your scheduling availability and what you’d like to gain from therapy. If I believe I’m a good fit, I’ll confirm your 15-minute phone consultation. If I think someone else might be a better match (due to clinical needs or availability), I’ll let you know via email.

Step 2: Book a Consultation

Return to this page and schedule a 15-minute telephone consultation. This is a low-pressure, no-obligation conversation. You can ask any questions, share more about your goals, and get a feel for how I work.

On my booking page, click “Book an Appointment With Me,:” then click “New Client Consultation.”

Step 3: Schedule First Session

If it feels like a fit, we’ll schedule your first therapy appointment. From there, we’ll set up your intake and start working together.
