Before the first visit

Please fill out the appropriate paperwork that is located on this website under Forms.

During the first visit

At the first visit we will spend time going over the paperwork you have provided to me. This is important as it helps us get to know each other and begins building our working relationship.  My goal is to finish each session with you feeling something beneficial has been accomplished. The session will last fifty minutes. My fee is $150 and payment will be collected at the beginning of every session. Note: This time and fee structure is not applicable to SPARK Program participants.  See SPARK Program for more details.

After each visit

If I feel that I will not be able to help you with the support you need I will let you know early on. At any time you feel our working relationship is not beneficial to you I would welcome your decision to transition to another counselor. Counseling is an emotional and financial commitment. As in most things in life, you will only get out of it what you put into it. At the conclusion of most sessions we will end with a behavior or habit that you are willing to fully examine in-between our sessions. The more you fully engage with this process the sooner your challenges will diminish. 

There is no charge for brief phone calls, as they are built into the session charge.
