Weaning off of Klonopin?

I have been on 0.5mg of Klonopin twice a day one in the morning and one at night, so I have been taking 1mg total a day for about 4 months now every day. I am currently on Zoloft that I will remain on because it is helping. I called and talked to my Dr this morning to find out how she wants me too wean off and she said for me too start taking just one a day at night for two weeks. So that will be going from 1mg a day to just 0.5 a day for two weeks. Then she wants me too call her back in two weeks. I am assuming that she will want me to start halving the 0.5 in about two week and just take 0.25 for two weeks maybe? Does this seem like a safe way of getting off of the Klonopin? My DR is very good and has not steered me wrong yet, but just want to make sure that this is safe. She said I have not been on a high dose for a long time so I should be fine when it comes to withdraws. Is there anyone that has been through this or someone experienced that could answer this question? I just want to make sure I'm doing it right and safe.
