Getting Started

  • My Office

    My office is located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle at 5306 Ballard Ave NW, Room 309. There is street parking nearby and access to public transit within easy walking distance. From the lobby, take the elevator or stairs up to the third floor. In addition to in-person appointments, I also offer virtual sessions using a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.

  • Meet-and-greet phone call

    If desired, I offer a free 15-minute phone call to prospective clients. During this call I will ask for a brief explanation of what you’re hoping to come to therapy for, explain what my training and approach is, go over billing details, and answer general questions about the therapeutic process.

  • First appointment

    This appointment is primarily for information gathering. I’ll ask you questions in order to understand what your concerns, what you’ve already tried prior to arriving here, and what you are hoping to get out of the therapeutic process. I will use this information to determine if I am the right provider for you and share what options I can offer for treatment. If I discover that you are needing help for something I am not trained to treat, I will refer you to someone who is. If you are seeking therapy for your child (age 12 and under), the first appointment is usually for just the parents.
