People seek therapy for many different reasons, and you don't have to be in crisis to benefit from it. You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, navigating a life transition, experiencing relationship challenges, processing a difficult experience, or simply wanting to better understand yourself. Therapy offers a supportive, collaborative space to gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults (18 years and older). My practice focuses on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship concerns, life transitions, identity development, perfectionism, trauma, grief, cultural and family dynamics, and other emotional or psychological concerns.

I offer a brief complimentary consultation to answer questions about my practice, discuss what you're looking for, and help determine whether my services may be a good fit. It also gives you an opportunity to learn about the therapist's approach before scheduling an intake appointment. A consultation is not a therapy session or a clinical assessment and does not establish a therapeutic relationship.

An intake appointment is your first full therapy session that typically lasts 60-90 minutes. During this appointment, your therapist gathers information about your concerns, personal history, current symptoms, strengths, and goals to better understand your needs and begin developing a treatment plan. At the end of the intake, you and your therapist will discuss: Whether ongoing therapy is recommended Initial treatment goals Session frequency Next appointment scheduling Referrals, if another provider or service would better meet your needs You are under no obligation to schedule additional sessions.

Yes. There are limited legal and ethical exceptions, such as situations involving imminent risk of serious harm, suspected abuse or neglect, certain court orders, or other circumstances required by law. These exceptions will be discussed during the informed consent process before treatment begins.

A therapeutic relationship begins only after we have completed an initial intake evaluation, mutually agreed that working together is a good fit for your needs, and I have accepted you as a client. At that point, our therapeutic relationship is established, and I begin serving as your treating psychologist.Contacting my office, requesting a consultation, exchanging emails or phone calls, joining the waitlist, scheduling an appointment, or completing intake paperwork does not, by itself, establish a therapeutic relationship or create an obligation for either of us to enter into treatment.If I determine that my practice is not the best fit for your needs, or if I am unable to accept you as a client, I will make reasonable efforts to provide referrals or resources whenever possible.

In most cases, no. Many clients may schedule directly without a referral. However, some insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization. If you plan to use insurance, I encourage you to verify your benefits before your first appointment.
