Why start with a phone consultation?
Beginning therapy can be a big step. A short call makes it easier to see whether working together feels like a good fit. During the 15 minute call, you can: • Share what’s bringing you to therapy • Talk about what you hope to get out of the process • Ask questions about my approach • Hear what the first few sessions are usually like • Decide whether you’d like to move forward The call is informal, confidential, and low-pressure. There’s no expectation to book afterward — it’s simply a chance to connect and see what feels right.
You might feel comfortable working with me if…
You’re looking for someone who is direct, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Many clients appreciate honest conversations and a relaxed space where they can think things through without feeling judged. I believe people carry a lot of inner wisdom, and therapy can help bring that forward. I may gently challenge you at times, always with the goal of helping you gain clarity and move toward what matters most. My office is private and comfortable — a place where you can slow down and speak openly. I tend to dress casually (jeans, sweatshirt, Birkenstocks or Blundstones) because I want therapy to feel approachable and easy to settle into.
What the first few sessions look like
Session 1: This first session is a chance for me to get to know you and understand what’s bringing you in. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, identify your goals, and explore what feels most important to focus on right now. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable. Sessions 2 – 3: We’ll also begin working on the challenges you’re facing right now, so you feel supported and see progress early on. By the end of the first few sessions, most people have a clearer sense of whether therapy feels helpful and what our work together might look like. If this approach resonates, a brief phone consultation is a simple place to start.
