Many people are intimidated by the thoughts of starting counseling. There can be a lot of fears about what to expect. I hope to make things as comfortable and relaxing for you as possible. During the first session, we will discuss your hopes for counseling and explore what your goals are. Sessions are 55 minutes long. There will be some basic paperwork to complete before the first session. It can be helpful to write down any questions you have to bring into the first session.

Most people start by coming to therapy once a week or every other week. That is completely up to you and we will discuss frequency at your first appointment. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is the heart of the healing process.
