Your first session
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here's what happens, so there are no surprises. It starts with a free 15-minute call, and nothing is decided until you're ready.
1. A free 15-minute call
We talk briefly about what's going on and what you're hoping for. It's enough to tell whether we're a good fit. No forms to fill out first. If I'm not the right person, I'll do my best to point you to someone who is.
2. Paperwork
If we decide to work together, you'll get secure intake forms online to fill out before we meet.
3. Your first session
We meet in person in Johns Landing or by secure video. I'll probably ask about your commute before your history. You don't need the right words, and anything you're not ready to share can wait.
Finding the office. I'm in Suite 100 of the BP John Building at 5901 S Macadam Ave in Johns Landing. Look for the gold lettering above the main entrance.
4. One small step
You leave feeling someone is on your side and, if you want one, with a step that doesn't feel enormous. From there, we decide together how often to meet.
Get in touch
A free 15-minute call is enough to know if we're a good fit. I reply within one business day.
