New Clients

Whether this is your first time trying counseling or just your first time reaching out to me, I appreciate your time and interest!

I am using SimplePractice for all of my counseling communication, appointments, and billing.

Answers to questions about counseling in general, my approach to counseling, frequency of sessions, and more will be available soon!


Steps For Getting Started With Counseling

  1. Click the button above to request an appointment.

  2. I will respond to requests within 2 business days (unless I am unavailable as noted on the Home page.)

  3. I will either accept your request or send options for other times/days to meet.

  4. You will receive a link to your client portal page where you will update your personal information, fill out forms to begin counseling, and enter your insurance (if using) and billing details.

  5. You will receive a reminder 48 hours before your scheduled appointment. If we are meeting online, the link for the video visit will be included in the reminder.

  6. You will receive another reminder 10 minutes before your appointment begins.

  7. Your session will be processed the same day you are seen. If you enter a credit card, you will be set for Auto Pay and payment will be processed between 12am and 2am the evening after your session. (If you would like to opt out of Auto Pay, please reach out to me via messaging in your SimplePractice account.)

  8. Sessions are $130 for self pay. If you are using insurance, please see the Insurance page for more information.

  9. If you would like a regular session weekly or biweekly, please let me know during our session or via messaging.

  10. If you want to schedule sessions as needed, please use the calendar in SimplePractice.


First Telehealth Session

I am using the HIPAA-compliant video component of SimplePractice for telehealth sessions.

Please be sure to read this guide before your appointment so that you are ready at our scheduled time.
