A (up to) 15-minute phone call which is an opportunity for us to speak briefly about your goals for therapy and for you to ask questions that may help you determine if I am a good fit for your care. All discovery conversations are conducted by telephone at a booked time convenient for you. This is also an opportunity to submit insurance verification and check for insurance eligibility. Lastly, this is also where I inform you of my practice procedures (ie no show, late cancellation policy, fees, co pays, etc) and if we are a good match (and you are ready) then we proceed to scheduling your initial assessment session (1st appointment). This discovery call is often short and sweet. 

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness techniques like Yoga / Trauma Informed Yoga, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction and in clinical supervision.
