Start Here
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. Many people spend a long time thinking about it before contacting someone.
If you're considering working together, the first step is a free 15-minute consultation.
This is a brief conversation where we can:
talk about what’s bringing you to therapy
explore what you’re hoping for from counselling
discuss how I tend to approach this kind of work
answer any questions you might have
see whether it feels like a good fit
There’s no pressure or obligation to book a full session afterward. The goal is simply to help you decide whether working together feels right for you.
What Happens Next
If you decide to move forward after the consultation or if you just want to skip that step, you can schedule your first full session. Available in-person or online.
The first session is an opportunity for us to:
set ourselves up for success
explore your experiences in more depth
understand the patterns or challenges you’re navigating
begin identifying what might feel helpful in our work together
Therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable for you.
