Step 1
Schedule 15 Min Consult
This is an opportunity to connect, discuss what's bringing you to therapy, and explore whether my services are a good fit for your needs.
• Discuss what's bringing you to therapy and what you're hoping to accomplish.
• Ask questions about me, my approach, or the therapy process.
• Review scheduling, availability, insurance, and payment options
• Learn about my approach to therapy, including why I typically recommend weekly sessions, especially at the beginning of treatment.
There is no pressure to make a decision or work with me at the end of our call. After our call, I'll send a follow up email summarizing what we discussed and how I may be able to help. You'll have time to review the information and decide whether moving forward feels right for you.
Finding the right therapist matters. If I'm not the best fit for your needs, I'll do my best to help point you toward resources that may be a better match.
Step 2
Complete Paperwork
If we decide we’re a good fit to work together, the next step is completing your intake paperwork before scheduling the initial appointment.
You’ll receive an email invitation to access my secure client portal through TherapyNotes. From there, you’ll complete your forms online using your phone, tablet, or computer.
The paperwork includes basic intake information, consent forms, insurance or payment information, and some deeper questions about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping support with. Completing this ahead of time helps us spend less time on paperwork during your first session and more time focusing on you.
Step 3
Review Paperwork and Schedule Your First Appointment
Once your paperwork is completed, I’ll review everything carefully, including any insurance benefits or payment information, before reaching out to schedule your first appointment. This step helps us make sure everything is in place so we can begin smoothly and focus on treatment from the start.
For adult clients, the first appointment is typically an individual intake session where we begin getting to know your story, current concerns, and therapy goals together.
For children, I meet with parents or caregivers first before the child’s initial session. This gives me an opportunity to better understand the child’s history, environment, strengths, and current challenges, while also giving caregivers space to share concerns, ask questions, and discuss goals for therapy.
