What to expect

Your first sessions

1. Consultation

We start with a complimentary 20-minute phone call to review your goals, answer questions, and assess goodness of fit.

2. Intake & planning

Complete intake forms through the secure client portal. The first 1–2 sessions explore history, strengths, and co-create a treatment plan.

3. Ongoing therapy

Sessions are collaborative, paced with your nervous system, and grounded in empathy and accountability to support real growth.

Please avoid sending protected health information by email. Clinical paperwork, scheduling, and messaging take place within the HIPAA-compliant portal. Review the fees & insurance guide for billing details.

Ethics & scope

Clear boundaries support effective care

I practice within the NASW Code of Ethics and maintain active consultation to ensure culturally responsive and trauma-informed care. Therapy is available to adults who are physically located in Indiana at the time of service. If you reside outside Indiana, please explore the coaching offerings, which are not mental health treatment.

We will coordinate with your care team—with your consent—when collaboration enhances outcomes (e.g., psychiatrists or medical providers). If we determine a different level of care is needed, I will provide referrals.
