Getting Started with Therapy
What To Expect
The Consultation Call
Getting started with a therapist (or a new therapist) can be daunting. We can schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. During this time we can briefly discuss your presenting concerns, to ensure that it’s within my current scope of practice. This time during the consultation call also gives us a chance to ask and answer questions on both sides, and ensure that we are a good match personality-wise.
The First Appointment
A good question to ask yourself before our first appointment is "What brings you to therapy at this time, and how does your cultural or ancestral background play a role?" This immediately centers the focus of our work together.
We will discuss this question in depth. We will also begin to discuss relevant background information, and begin developing a plan for our work together.

My private practice is self-pay, which means that appointment fees are collected the day of session. The purpose of this is for both of us to have more autonomy throughout our work together.
If you would like to use your insurance plan on an out-of-network basis, I can provide monthly superbilling. The online portal will generate a monthly super bill and send it directly to your email. Send this document to your insurance company and they can reimburse your session fees.
