How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. You can complete the contact form or request an appointment through the scheduling portal. Once I receive your information, I'll reach out regarding next steps and scheduling options.

What can I expect during my first appointment?

2

Before scheduling a Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation, you'll have the opportunity to participate in a free consultation. This brief conversation allows us to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we're a good fit for one another.

If we decide to move forward, your first official appointment will be a Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation. During this session, we'll explore your current concerns, personal history, relationships, strengths, and goals for therapy. This helps create a comprehensive understanding of your needs and allows us to develop a plan tailored to your unique situation.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out before your first appointment. You don't need the perfect words or a clear roadmap, just a willingness to show up as you are.
