Preparing for your first session

If you are a new client, I will send you a link to my patient portal. You will need to fill out forms on the portal prior to coming to your first session.  

Completing these forms in advance of our first session will help us make the most of our time...thank you for your cooperation.
 

If you would like me to coordinate my treatment of you with another provider (for example, your psychiatrist, primary care physician, etc.), please complete this form and return it to me, which will authorize me to release your psychotherapy information to your provider:
