For live appointments, client's come about 10 minutes early and then take the elevator up to the third-floor lobby, where they sit down and fill out a one page information sheet. At the given appointment time, I will come down the hallway and greet you and then we go to my small, confidential office to talk. For online appointments, I use Zoom.

Together, we’ll create a space where you can make sense of what’s going on and start to feel more grounded. When you’re ready, we can take that first step.
