Taking a step towards therapy is a big deal. Let’s help you feel prepared.
What can I expect from therapy?
The Seeds of Hope Experience
At Seeds of Hope Clinical Services, we are passionate about connecting you to hope and healing. You’re not alone; we want to come alongside you for this part of your journey. We do not take for granted that you are taking this very courageous step. You are the expert in your unique life; we are simply supporters and facilitators along the way.
We are committed to creating a safe and compassionate environment in which you are given the greatest chance for your desired growth and change. In therapy, you will find someone who will listen and come to know you, help you identify any patterns in your life that are hindering your highest good, process with you feelings of sadness, grief, shame, loneliness and more, and challenge you to change and grow.
The Part You Play
As a client with SOHCS, we ask that you come in with an open mind and heart for the process. We believe that our job is to meet you where you are and facilitate your movement through the journey toward hope and healing. We honor your unique life story.
Every therapeutic relationship is different, and every encounter with therapy throughout our lives provides something new. When you first begin with Seeds of Hope, you will determine with your therapist the appropriate frequency of sessions and goals you’d like to accomplish together.
Your First Session
We offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have and determine together if we are a good fit. To get scheduled for your consultation, fill out our Contact Form.
Once you determine that you would like to move forward, there is a small amount of intake paperwork to complete. These forms describe your rights, privacy and confidentiality, as well as giving us some important information to ensure we serve you best.
Services and Payment
What type of clients and situations do you see?
I have unique success and experience with children, adolescents and their families, however I see adults and children, families and couples. It is important to me to ensure we are a good therapeutic fit, so please feel free to schedule an intake consultation with me.

What should I do with emergencies that occur outside of session?
For severe or life-threatening situations, immediately call 911. For non-life threatening issues, feel free to call and leave a message or send an email. I will do my best to get back to you within 48 hours. Therapeutic care/consultation calls that exceed 5 minutes of my time will be billed at the normal session rate on a pro-rated basis. Due to HIPAA privacy issues, I am unable to discuss clinical information via email.
Do you prescribe medication?
Clinicians with Seeds of Hope Clinical Services do not prescribe medication. We would be happy to refer you to some psychiatric teams in the area should you need it.
