Beginning therapy is an important step, and it is completely normal to feel unsure about what to expect. My goal is to make the process simple, comfortable, and supportive.

Before We Meet

Once you schedule your appointment, you'll receive a brief intake form. This helps me understand what brings you in, what you're hoping to work on, and any immediate concerns you may have.  You don't need to have everything figured out -- just share what feels comfortable.

When You arrive (in-person and online

Whether you join me in-person or through a secure telehealth session, you'll be welcomed into a calm, private, judgement-free space.  You can take a few moments to settle in, breathe, and get comfortable.

What we'll talk about

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll explore:

  • What led you to seek support
  • Your current stressors, symptoms, or goals
  • Your history and any past therapy experiences
  • What you would like to feel, change, or understand


There is no pressure to share everything at once. You set the pace.

Creating a plan together

By the end of the session, we'll talk through a general plan that fits your needs.  This may include:

  • How often we'll meet
  • Approaches or strategies that may be helpful
  • Short-term goals and longer-term areas of focus


Therapy is a collaborative process.  You're in the diver's seat - I'm simply here to help guide and support you along the way.
