How do I set up an initial appointment?
You can contact me via email, phone, or use the contact form to schedule your first appt, and prior to having the first appointment, I will provide you with a link for you to complete an online brief intake form, asking you share a little bit about the struggles you are currently facing and goals you would like to achieve
