Contact & Initial Meeting

Taking the First Step

I understand that reaching out to a therapist can feel like a significant and sometimes daunting step. Whether you have a clear idea of what you want to work on or simply a sense that "something isn't right," I welcome your inquiry.

The Initial Meeting

I offer an initial session at a reduced fee for both individuals and couples. This 50-minute session is an opportunity for us to:

Discuss what is troubling you: A safe space to outline your current difficulties.

Experience how I work: Get a "feel" for our therapeutic relationship and whether my approach and style are a good fit for you.

Ask questions: Ensure you feel comfortable and informed before deciding to move forward.

There is no obligation to continue after this meeting; it is simply a chance to see if we are a "good fit" for one another.
