How to Get Started
After you have read through the FAQ page, then feel free to contact me by phone or use the contact form below. I check phone and form messages frequently. I’ll reach out to you within 1-2 business days.
During our phone conversation, we’ll briefly discuss what is bringing you to therapy. If I determine I might be a good fit for you, we will schedule your first appointment. New clients are typically scheduled within one week and often less!

The Intake Appointment
You will arrive online at your first appointment at your scheduled time. Your appointment lasts 50-55 minutes. You'll be invited to talk about your situation, and I'll provide information about my approach. Near the end of the meeting, we will discuss the next steps, scheduling, and frequency of sessions, etc. I may also inquire into case coordination with your psychiatrist or other providers you work with. Please bring payment for your first session (cash in the exact amount, check, or credit card). A credit or debit card is securely kept on file for follow-up sessions, and fees are collected using an auto-pay system. HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
Follow-Up Appointments
Your appointment time will be held for you every week. Follow-up sessions are 50-55 minutes. We will review progress and setbacks since our last appointment, and then build on the work we have started. Be ready to take an active role in therapy by arriving at your appointments with a particular problem or goal in mind.
Sessions are online via secure Telehealth
