Book a Consultation for Therapy in Wayzata
Let’s See if We’re a Good Fit
How comfortable you both feel with your therapist is one of the biggest factors in whether therapy helps. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of how we might work together and answer any questions you have.

Common Questions Before Getting Started
-
No. The consultation is free, and there’s no pressure to book anything afterward. It’s simply a chance to ask your questions and see how it feels.
-
No. Come with your questions. I’ll ask a little about what’s going on, explain how I work, and we’ll see how it feels.
-
If we both feel it’s a fit, I’ll send you a link to book your first session in my secure client portal.
I encourage clients to take the first three sessions to see how it feels. After the third session, we’ll check in together about how it’s going and if we are on track with your hopes. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help you find someone who is.
-
For all clients, I recommend taking the first three sessions to see how it feels. After our third session, we’ll talk together about how it’s going and if we are track with your hopes and goals.
For individual clients, I typically recommend coming weekly for 50 minute sessions. We can either choose a specific time that’s yours on the calendar for consistency or book each week. Some individuals prefer coming for 80 min or 110 min sessions to go deeper faster.
For couples: I typically meet with couples every other week for 80 or 110 min sessions. For some couples, they come in weekly for 80 or 110 min sessions if they are in a crisis or want to meet more frequently.
-
It’s nice but not required. If only one of you is able to join the call, we can still meet and discuss your questions.
-
That’s very common. We can talk about your options, including starting on your own and how to invite your partner in.
-
In couples therapy, we start by identifying the “dance” you get stuck in – those recurring patterns that leave you feeling disconnected. From there, we explore what’s driving those patterns, such as one’s family of origin and other past experiences that inform how you show up in relationships today. Sessions are active, compassionate, and focused on helping each of you do your part more skillfully.
-
It’s completely normal to feel nervous about starting couples therapy. In fact, most people do.
Most clients are nervous that their partner is dragging them to couples therapy because they want to break up with them in front of a professional. I find that's rarely the case. Couples therapy is an investment in your relationship, and I find it is a sacred honor to help couples find more peace and less pain in one of the most important relationships in your life.
Going to couples therapy doesn’t mean something is wrong – it means you care about your relationship and want it to feel better. Healthy relationships take skills that most of us were never taught, and therapy is simply the place where you learn and practice them together.
-
The Relationship Bootcamp is a group workshop to help you build insight, understand yourself and your relationship better, and learn tangible skills to start improving your relationships. It’s a mix of large group learning, small group discussion, and experiential practice that lays the foundation for effective couples therapy.
Couples therapy is a private counseling session where I meet with you to put what you learned in the Relationship Bootcamp to work in daily life.
-
The best place to start is with the Relationship Bootcamp – it gives you a shared foundation and jumpstart for deeper work.
If you’re ready for couples therapy, take these steps:
Each partner should reach out to me separately through my contact form or email.
Once I’ve heard from both of you, we’ll schedule your intake session. Or, you can book an exploration call to work through any questions or concerns you have and make sure we’re a good fit.
Based on your goals, we’ll decide a regular schedule and continue with sessions.
-
It depends on what’s going on and what you are looking for. That’s what the consultation is for. I’ll give you my honest take on where to start, even if that’s somewhere other than with me.
-
Many people notice something shifting within the first few sessions: a new way of handling a familiar fight, or catching an old pattern before it takes over. Lasting change usually takes a few months of steady work.
I encourage clients to give it three sessions to see how it feels working together, and then a few months of regular sessions to see real progress. We’ll check in together along the way, so you’re never wondering whether it’s working.
