Start With a Conversation — No Pressure, No Commitment

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. This free 15-minute consultation is a chance for us to briefly connect—by phone or video—to see if we might be a good fit to work together.

You’re welcome to share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask questions about how I work, and learn more about what to expect from sessions. It’s also a space for you to get a feel for whether my approach and personality are right for you.

There’s no pressure and no cost—just a simple conversation to help you make an informed decision.

Choose between a phone or video call based on your preference.

Experience a Full Session Before Committing

Sometimes, choosing the right therapist takes more than a brief conversation. This one-time, 50-minute trial session is offered at 75% off the regular fee to help new clients get a true feel for how I work, and whether my approach feels like a good fit for your needs.

The session is held online via secure video and is available only to individuals who have never had a therapy session with me before—even if we’ve connected in the past.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore what’s on your mind, ask questions, and experience what it’s like to work together in a full-length session before deciding if you'd like to continue.

Please Note:
This service is for individuals seeking therapy for themselves. If you are inquiring on behalf of someone else (e.g. a child, youth, or vulnerable adult), please contact me directly to discuss next steps.
