Getting Started

If you are interested in working with me, we will schedule a free consultation. This is an opportunity for us both to ask important questions, determine our compatibility, and make loose plans for future sessions. Your choice of a phone call or video chat for about 20-30 minutes.


The therapeutic relationship begins with an intake session. I will explain my policies, intentions and expectations. I will gather relevant information about you, to the extent you are comfortable. 


Most folks meet me on a weekly basis for approximately 1 hour sessions after the initial intake is complete. Therapy is completely voluntary and you may discontinue at any time, for any reason or no reason.
