Thank you for your interest in starting therapy with us.
Our practice is focused on trauma-informed, structured therapy using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work. We are not a traditional talk therapy practice.
If you’re looking for deep emotional healing and are ready to do meaningful work in and outside of sessions, we may be a great fit.
When you request an appointment through our client portal, you will first be asked to complete a brief form that gathers your reason for seeking care, insurance information, and mental health history.
➡️ Please complete that step fully.
After that, our office will follow up with a few additional pre-screening questions to ensure we’re a good therapeutic fit before confirming your appointment.
You can choose to complete the follow-up questions by phone or email.
📧 If you prefer email instead of a phone call, please let us know by writing that in the “Message to Provider” section during your online appointment request.
