What To Expect in Working Together

Beginning therapy can bring up a lot. Here's a simple step-by-step breakdown so you know exactly what to expect from the beginning.


Getting Started

Step 1 Free Consultation

Finding the right therapist is an important part of the journey. During this 15 minute video consultation, you’ll have space to share what you're hoping for, ask any questions, and get a feel for how I work. There’s no pressure—this is simply a chance for us to connect and see if it feels like a good fit. You can take time to think about it. If it feels right to both (or all) of us, we’ll move forward to step two.

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session—For individuals we begin with a 50 minute intake, and for couples, an 80 minute intake. You’ll receive details for either visiting my office or joining virtually via a secure video link, along with access to the client portal to complete a few forms ahead of time. In this session, we’ll take our time exploring what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping to shift, expand, or grow toward.

From here, we’ll move at a pace that honors your unique rhythm and capacity. Ongoing sessions are 50 or 80 minutes, and focus on supporting connection—with yourself, your emotions, and your deeper needs. Whether you're exploring patterns rooted in the past or expanding your capacity for presence, we’ll stay curious together. This is a collaborative process of uncovering what’s in the way of connection, and creating space for the change and healing that feels most meaningful to you.

Steady support. Guided with intention. Your process, your pace.
