CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
Because I believe a good fit is essential to a therapeutic relationship, I offer new clients a free 15 minute telephone consultation. I will answer any questions you have about my practice and my therapeutic style. We can schedule an appointment during that phone call. If you are a returning client, feel free to send me an email.
