What to Expect from Therapy with Me

If you've never been to therapy before or haven't found the right fit it can be hard to know what to expect. This page walks you through how we'd work together, from first contact to ongoing sessions.

Getting started

How it works, step by step

1. Get in touch

Email, use the contact form, or leave a voicemail. No long explanation needed, a few words about what brings you here is enough.

2. Free 20-minute consultation

I'll respond within 24–48 hours to arrange a brief phone or video call. We'll talk about what you're looking for and whether I can help. No commitment, no pressure.

3. First session

We take time to understand what brings you to therapy, what you'd like to change, and how we might work together. There's no obligation, it's an opportunity for us both to see if we're a good fit.

4. Ongoing work

If we decide to continue, we'll find a regular time that works for you. We'll review progress together and adapt as needed — nothing is fixed forever.
