Try to choose an appointment time that leaves you time to process and rest afterwards. Therapy can be tiring! Spending some time journalling what came up can also be helpful.
You can choose a 15 minute consultation, a 60 min or a 90 min appointment.
You can also choose to have an in person session or an online session.
You’ll receive an email with two links and instructions. One link leads to a consent form that you need to read and sign, and the other link leads to an intake form that you need to complete.

Taking the plunge into therapy requires a tremendous amount of courage! It’s completely normal to feel anxious about the initial appointment or be unsure about what to discuss. Remember, we’ll navigate this journey together, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
You do not need to do anything to prepare ahead of time. We will take time for any questions or concerns that you have coming in.

If you feel seen, heard, and safe, therapy will be beneficial. However, if you don’t, it will be limited. I understand that building this sense of security takes time. I don’t expect you to open up to me until you feel comfortable doing so. In fact, rushing into things can be counterproductive. We’ll progress at your own pace.
In our initial session, we’ll get to know each other and explore what you need. I’ll guide us through this process; it’s my responsibility to tune into you and your unique needs. The most important aspect of this session is that you may start to feel comfortable and safe with me. You decide what you want to share.
