That’s completely okay. Many of my clients are new to therapy. If committing right away feels like too much, you can begin with an Exploration Session, a one-time, 45-minute appointment to see how it feels to work together.
When you are ready to book, go to Book Consultation, complete the short form, and select Exploration Session under “Type of Support.”
Fit is relational, and the consultation is a space for us to get to know each other and explore whether working together feels right.
When you feel ready for a complimentary 20-30 minute conversation, I invite you to visit Book Consultation and complete the brief questionnaire.
After our call, we will set your intake appointment together, and you will receive your paperwork by email.
For follow-ups, we will schedule one session at a time so there is space for what you need most in each stage of our work.
If you would like to connect in conversation before beginning, I invite you to visit Book Consultation and complete the brief questionnaire so we can get started together.

To offer relational, grounded work, I limit the number of clients I see. This supports sustainability and care.
Because I want to keep your care private and centered on what matters most to you. When insurance is involved, they require a clinical diagnosis and can review treatment records, which may limit what we focus on to what they consider “medically necessary.” This gives a third party a say in what we can address together.
By working outside of insurance, you and I decide the direction of our work so it can truly support your goals.
Because assessments for short- or long-term disability claims or FMLA paperwork require an objective, unbiased, and detached assessor, they are the opposite of my role as a therapist, which is to be warm, empathic, and engaged in your care. These assessments also involve providing a legal definition of disability and conducting extensive investigative interviewing, practices that are not part of my therapeutic approach.
I may consider leave documentation if it only requires a psychological diagnosis and verification of treatment attendance.
Because this work is intentional and paced, I’m not equipped to provide emergency or crisis support. If you're in need of immediate care, I can help connect you with resources that are better suited to support you in this moment.
