FAQs

Deciding to start therapy is a personal choice. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or struggling with something that is affecting your daily life or relationships, therapy may be a helpful place to explore what's going on. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation so we can discuss what you're experiencing and see whether we're a good fit.
Our first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you'd like support with.
