FAQ’s
Getting Started
What can I expect in my first therapy session?
Your first session is mostly about getting to know you and your goals. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your hopes for the process, and any questions or concerns you have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful to you.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to understand yourself more deeply. You don’t need to have everything “figured out” before starting — exploring where you are is part of the work. A consultation can help us see if we’re a good fit for your needs.
How long are sessions and how often will we meet?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes, and most clients begin with weekly appointments to build momentum and trust. As therapy progresses, we may decide together to adjust the frequency based on your goals and comfort level.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can easily schedule online through my secure client portal or by reaching out through my contact form. I also offer a brief consultation call if you’d like to ask questions and get a feel for whether working together is the right fit.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes — I offer a free 15-minute consultation call for new clients. This is a chance for us to connect, talk through your questions, and see whether my approach aligns with what you’re looking for. There’s no commitment — just a space to explore next steps together.
