Scheduling and Patient Portal
I understand the value of your time and the importance of providing a hassle-free experience when scheduling an appointment. That is why our website has been designed with user-friendly scheduling options.
When it comes to choosing a first appointment, we offer you two distinct options tailored to meet your needs. If you are looking for a brief consultation, our 15-minute video or phone appointment is perfect. This option allows you to address any concerns or questions, before scheduling a session. On the other hand, if you prefer a more comprehensive assessment, our standard 1-hour intake appointment provides ample time for us to delve deeper into understanding your situation and developing an effective treatment plan.
Scheduling these appointments is straightforward. All you have to do is click on the prominently displayed "request appointment" button on our website, and you will be directed to our patient portal. Once there, you will be guided through a simple and intuitive process to select the type of meeting and a convenient time slot that works best for you.
After indicating your desired appointment and time, you can relax knowing that our system will take care of the rest. Soon after, you will receive an email confirming your appointment and providing you with access to our patient portal. This secure platform will allow you to conveniently complete any necessary paperwork before your scheduled meeting, ensuring that your session can begin smoothly and efficiently.
I strive to prioritize your convenience and make your journey as seamless as possible. With our straightforward online process, you can focus on what really matters – taking the first step towards a healthier and happier you.

What does a first session look like?
A first therapy session typically sets the foundation for the therapeutic relationship and establishes a safe and supportive environment. The session begins with an introduction, a discussion of the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and a review of any necessary paperwork. I encourage patients to share their reasons for seeking therapy and their goals for treatment. We explore their history, including significant life events, relationships, and challenges. Active listening and open-ended questions guide the session as I attempt to learn the patient’s personal narrative. I strive to create create a welcoming space where patients can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. By the end of the first session, we collaboratively establish the groundwork for future sessions and develop a treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs.
