A simple, supportive path to getting started

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Here are three simple steps to help you get connected, feel supported, and ready for your first session—so you can take the next step at a pace that feels right for you.

1

Free Consultation

I recommend starting with a brief consultation to connect, answer your questions, and make sure we’re a good fit. This session is optional, but it’s a helpful way to explore whether working together feels right for you in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

2

Book Your Session

Once you’re ready, choose a format that works best: in-person at Canopy & Co., Crowfoot Crossing, or virtual via secure video. After booking, the required forms—Tech Consent, Full Intake, and Consent for Supervision—will be emailed to you. Completing them at least one day before your session helps us focus on you during our time together.

3

Attend Your First Session

Your first session is 50 minutes and focuses on understanding your goals, current challenges, and what matters most to you. We’ll work together to begin creating a plan that feels manageable, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.

Take the first step when it feels right for you.

Have Questions?

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, and it’s normal to wonder what to expect. These FAQs cover the questions we hear most often, but everyone’s situation is different. If you don’t see what you need here, we can discuss it during your free consultation or answer any questions via email. Our goal is to make your first steps as smooth and comfortable as possible.
