Have you been thinking about therapy for a while?

You keep putting it off because life is too busy and now just isn’t the right time. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the process of finding a therapist or the thought of starting over with someone new.

Trust me, I get it.

I understand how hard it can be to take that next step. During our complementary 20-minute consultation call, you can ask me any questions about my experience or approach, and then decide if we’re a good fit to work together.
