Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. A free 15-minute consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
During the consultation, we'll briefly explore what brings you to therapy, review your goals, and discuss how counseling may support your needs. This is also a chance to learn more about my approach, services, and availability.
There is no obligation to schedule ongoing sessions. The goal is simply to help you make an informed decision and feel comfortable moving forward at your own pace.
