Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Take a deep breath, you’ve already made it through the hardest part of getting started! During our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, identifying your goals, and begin to build our therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll also develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs. Prior to your appointment, you’ll receive intake paperwork via email. These forms must be completed before our session can take place. The paperwork includes an intake questionnaire as well as brief anxiety and depression assessments. This information helps me get to know you better and allows us to make the most of our time together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Starting the process of individual counseling can be both exciting and overwhelming. I can provide a safe and trusting environment for you to work on your mental health at your own pace. Seeking therapy is courageous of you, follow through!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are motivated to grow, open to support, and committed to developing the skills needed to create lasting change. My clients value consistency and are able to maintain a weekly or bi-weekly therapy schedule. Cancellation & Attendance Policy Please take a moment to carefully review the following policies, as they are important for maintaining structure, consistency, and respect for both our time: Location Requirement: You must be physically located in Connecticut at the time of your session. If you attempt to join from outside of CT, your session will be canceled and a late cancellation fee will apply. Intake Sessions: All intake paperwork must be completed before your scheduled intake session. If documents are not submitted, the session will be canceled. One reschedule is permitted, but failure to attend both the original and rescheduled intake will result in non-acceptance as a client.

Missed or Canceled Sessions: Two missed or canceled sessions within a three week period may result in discharge from services. This policy ensures that therapy remains consistent and effective. Termination of Services: If you decide to end therapy, I encourage open communication so we can discuss and support your transition thoughtfully.
