Do I feel like the right fit for your journey?
Here’s how we get started:
1. Reach out to me
Send me a message from the “Let’s Connect!” page including information about how I can get in contact with you, what you are hoping to work on, and if you will be using insurance benefits. This information helps me be best prepared for our consultation call, so I can answer any questions you have and present my vision for your unique therapy journey. I’ll get back to you ASAP with a couple of times we could chat that week and let you pick the day and time that works best for your schedule.
2. Free 15-20 minute consultation
We chat my email, text, phone, or video call….whatever is the most comfortable for you! This is our chance to get to know each other a little better and make sure we both think I am the best therapist for the job; if I’m not, I’ll help you look for the right one and send you some recommended referrals to check out. I’ll tell you more about my therapy style, my thoughts on your goals for therapy, and answer any questions you might have about the process.
3. Setting up our first session
If we’re both feeling it, we will end the call scheduling an intake session and with me sending you a couple intake forms to complete before our first session by email. Those can be filled on your computer or by pen, depending on what you’re feeling. Once you’ve emailed back those couple forms and you’ve picked the day and time that works best for you, we’re ready to go! You’ll receive an email and/or text reminder, depending on your preferences, two days and one day before the session.
3. Our first session
If you elected to meet virtually: I will send you a calendar invitation with your initials that includes a Google Meets link, and this URL will place you in our private virtual counseling room whenever you’re ready to join.
If you elected to meet in-person: You’ll shoot me a text when you’ve parked and you are ready to go. My office is located at Maryland Presybyterian Church off Providence Road, in Parkville, MD. I will text you inviting you to meet me at the front door with a mask on. Once we exchange some hand sanitizer I will lead you upstairs and into the therapy office. There, we can take off our masks if you are comfortable, or keep them on if you prefer.
