Before Your First Appointment

Prior to your first session, you will receive a set of forms via email that must be completed online. Please ensure these are submitted before your appointment.

If this is your first visit to my office, and you’re unfamiliar with the location or local traffic conditions (especially during peak or seasonal times), I recommend allowing extra time for travel. Upon arrival, please take a seat in the shared waiting area located in the center of the building. I will come get you from the waiting area at your scheduled appointment time.

For telehealth clients, please familiarize yourself with the VSee platform in advance by following the instructions provided in your welcome email.

What to Expect in Your First Session

There’s no need to worry about how to begin or what to say—I’ll guide you through the process. That said, it may be helpful to reflect beforehand on a few key areas:

  • What challenges or concerns have brought you to therapy?

  • Are there aspects of your life or past that you feel would help me understand you better?

  • Do you have any specific goals or hopes for our work together?

Your comfort and readiness are what matter most. We’ll take it one step at a time.
