Your First Visit

When you arrive, just get comfy in the waiting area– there’s no need to check in with anyone. (If this is a telehealth visit, same! Hang out in the virtual waiting room until I start the session.)

Please fill out the paperwork I have emailed to you in advance of our first session.

In the first session we will review the treatment agreement and I will answer any questions that you have about treatment or counseling with me. We will discuss payment arrangements. After the “business aspects” of therapy are taken care of, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. I’ll gather some information about you and your life, what brings you in, and what you would like help with. We will talk about what you’d like to achieve through therapy. Together, we will decide if I am a good fit for your needs, and from there collaboratively begin to hatch a plan of what needs to happen to help you move forward.
