How To Get Started

Thinking about starting therapy but unsure what to expect? That’s completely normal. Opening up can feel intimidating, but I’m here to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. The process looks different for individuals, couples, and kids, so click the button below to learn more about the process.

Individual Counseling

Getting Started

Click the black button below to reach out, and I’ll respond within 1-2 business days. We’ll have a quick chat to see if we’re a good fit, and we’ll find a session time that works for you—flexibility included! 

Before Your First Session

Once you’re scheduled, I’ll email you a link to your client portal to complete a few simple forms before our first appointment. No need to stress—just some basics to help us get started.

Your First Appointment

When you arrive, take a seat in the welcoming waiting area until I come to greet you. This first session is all about getting to know you—I’ll gather information to understand your story and what’s needed now. No prep work required—just show up as you are.

Moving Forward

By the end of our first session, we’ll have a roadmap for your journey, including the types of therapy we might use and how often we’ll meet. Throughout the process, we work together as a team—transparent, open, no hidden agenda. Think of it as the weirdest blind date ever—but one that actually helps you grow.

Couples Counseling

Getting Started

Click the purple button below to reach out, and I’ll respond within 1-2 business days. We’ll have a quick chat to see if we’re a good fit, and we’ll find a session time that works for you and your partner—flexibility included! 

Before Your First Session

Once you and your partner are scheduled, I’ll email each of you a link to your individual client portals so you can complete a few quick forms before our first appointment. You’ll also receive a link to a couples assessment survey, which helps me start understanding your unique strengths, needs, and relationship goals. 

Your First Appointments

When you both arrive, you’re welcome to settle into the waiting area, and I’ll come out to greet you shortly. Our first session will be longer, about 80 minutes to give us space to get to know each other and for each of you to share your perspectives.


After that, we’ll move into individual sessions with each partner, followed by another session together. This process creates room for open expression and deeper understanding and helps guide the assessment phase so we can identify the goals for our work together.

Moving Forward

After the assessment process, we’ll take time to reflect on the themes and strengths that emerged and set the direction for our work together. From there, we’ll begin the therapeutic process with clarity and intention, focusing on growth, connection, and shared goals.

Children and Teens Counseling

Getting Started

Click the black button below to reach out, and I’ll respond within 1–2 business days. We’ll have a brief conversation to make sure I’m the right fit for your child, and then we’ll find a session time that works for your family—flexibility included! 

Before Your Child's First Session

Once your child is scheduled, I’ll email you a link to your client portal to complete a few simple forms before our first appointment. No need to stress—just a few basics to help us get started.


Depending on your family’s situation, forms may need to be completed by both parents.

Your Child's First Appointment

When you and your child or arrive, you’re welcome to settle into the waiting area until I come to greet you. In our first session, we’ll begin together, and I’ll invite you to step to the waiting area once your child is feeling comfortable. This session is all about helping your child get to know me, easing into the space, and building a sense of safety from the start.

Moving Forward

After a few sessions, I’ll have a clearer understanding of your child’s needs, and we’ll talk together about the frequency and duration of sessions moving forward. Some children take 10 sessions or more to begin opening up—it’s completely normal. My priority is creating a safe, supportive space where your child can explore their feelings at their own pace and begin to find their voice.
