What To Expect

Not sure what therapy is going to be like? That’s okay. Here’s what you can expect.

First, we’ll have a free 20-minute consultation.
After you contact me, we’ll find a time to talk. We’ll spend about 20 minutes getting to know each other, talking about what’s going on, and what you’re hoping for from therapy. You can ask questions and get a feel for what working together might be like. The goal is to see if we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure to decide right away.

If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you the paperwork and information you need before your first session.

At your first session, we’ll talk more about what’s going on and what you’d like help with. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out. I’ll ask questions and help you get started.

After that, sessions will depend on what you need. We might talk about something happening in your life, work through thoughts or emotions, look at patterns that keep coming up, or learn practical tools that can help.

Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I’ll listen, ask questions, offer perspective, teach skills, and be direct when it’s helpful. You’ll also have a say in what we focus on.

You don’t have to know where to start. We can figure that out together.
