I’m here to answer some of the questions I get
about my business or counseling services.

  • After reaching out to book and appointment with me - whether it be a consultation or an initial session, I will send instructions on next steps to the e-mail address you have provided.

    During a consultation, I will briefly provide an overview of the way my business works, any fees, what is in my informed consent, what therapy with me can look like, and answer any additional questions you may have.
    If we choose to move forward, I will follow up by sending necessary documents to be filled out before your initial counseling session.

    During an initial session, we will review all documents that have been filled out, go over details, and further discuss your concerns and expectations. We will go over what you are hoping to get from therapy, and some potential goals we can set together.
