Connecting with your therapist is essential! You want to feel heard, understood, and supported.
Before scheduling a session, I do a free 15 minute intro call with all potential new clients.
This gives us a chance to get to know each other so we can see if we are a good fit. During this intro call, I’ll ask you about why you’re seeking therapy at this time. Then I will then tell you a little bit about myself and my approach as a therapist. While on the call, you can ask me any questions that you may have. We’ll also talk about rates, insurance, availability, etc. If you would like to move forward, we will then go ahead and schedule a first session.

When starting therapy, I ask all new clients to commit to weekly sessions.
Sessions are 45 minutes in length.
This will allow us to start off on a strong foot, so you can start seeing progress right away.

Confidently between a therapist and a client is one of the most important components to the therapeutic relationship! Before starting therapy, you will be given an “informed consent” form, which explains that what you discuss in session, will not be shared with anyone. If you would like your therapist to talk to your medical doctor or psychiatrist , for example, to better coordinate care, then you will be asked to sign a “release of information” form. This form states that you are giving permission for your therapist to contact / release information to whomever you name in the release of information form.
State law & professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations:
Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders must be reported to the authorities, including Child Protective Services and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.
If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.
