New Clients
You don't need a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or a specific goal before reaching out. Most people who reach out are still figuring out what kind of support they need — and that's exactly what the first conversation is for.
Getting Started
Call or email to share a short, general overview of what brings you in. Keep it high-level — sensitive clinical details are handled later in a secure setting.
After reviewing your request, you will hear back from me about whether I am a good fit for what you are looking for, along with current availability and what comes next.
Once fit is confirmed, intake paperwork is completed securely before your first appointment. The first session is a structured conversation — designed to understand your goals, history, and what success looks like for you.
Before Your First Visit
Once we've confirmed we're a good fit, please download and complete these ahead of your first appointment. Each one is password-protected — I'll share the password with you directly.
Covers how therapy works, confidentiality, and your rights as a client. Please review, complete, and bring it to your first appointment.

A brief, general description of what you are dealing with and how you would like to be contacted. You do not need to share a diagnosis, detailed history, or anything sensitive over email or phone.
Most requests receive a response within one to two business days. If your need is urgent, please call or text directly.
All sessions are conducted via telehealth, which means you can access care from anywhere in Washington State — without a commute.
Many clients come in without any prior therapy experience. The first session is designed to feel like a conversation, not a clinical evaluation. There is nothing you need to prepare beforehand.
That is a common experience and worth discussing. A first session is a good opportunity to talk about what worked, what did not, and what a different approach might look like.
