Individual Counseling
Getting Started
Click the black button below to reach out for counseling, and I’ll respond within 1-2 business days. We’ll have a quick chat about the therapy process 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 for counseling, 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 with the therapy process.
Your First Appointment
When you arrive for counseling, 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 in the therapy process. 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, whether it's counseling for children or counseling for individuals, and how often we’ll meet. Throughout the therapy 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.
Children and Teens Counseling
Getting Started
Click the black button below to reach out for counseling for children and teens, and I’ll respond within 1–2 business days. We’ll have a brief conversation to ensure I’m the right fit for your child’s needs, and then we’ll find a session time that works for your family—flexibility included! This initial discussion will also help clarify the therapy process and how it can benefit your child.
Before Your Child's First Session
Once your child is scheduled for counseling, 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.
*Depending on the situation, forms may need to be completed by both parents.
Your Child's First Appointment
When you and your child or teen arrive for counseling, 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.
