Why is your initial consultation free?

It is very important to me that you and I are a good fit for one another before we decide to work together. During your free 15-minute consultation, you and I will talk over the phone and discuss what brings you in to therapy. During this call, you will also get a sense of what it would be like to work with me. I encourage prospective clients to ask me any questions about me and my practice during the call.
