Once we set up a day/time for your initial appointment, you will be sent access to the client portal (Simple Practice) that includes my disclosure, Good Faith Estimate and intake forms that must be completed before our first session. After our first session, we will collaborate on the best path forward (frequency, modality, etc.) to help you achieve your goals.

No, I do not. My practice is private pay only. Payments can be made via check, cash or credit card. Additionally, as an associate, I am unable to provide a superbill at this time.

Yes, while I try my best to have a wide scope of knowledge there are areas that are out of my scope of practice and for clinical reasons, it recommend that you seek these services elsewhere.
Domestic Abuse (DA), Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and Coercive Control (CC) are serious, complicated dynamics that can be dangerous to your safety, your mental health, and even your life. I do not have the experience in this area that I believe will serve you best if these dynamics are present in your life, or if the goals of therapy include trauma from IPV, DA, or CC. If you are already aware that you have experienced IPV, DA, or CC in the past, or are currently experiencing these dynamics, please seek services with a provider who has expertise in these areas. I will be happy to help if I can. Sometimes people don’t realize they are involved in abusive relationships, and evidence of this kind of relationship may arise after we have started your therapy. If you start treatment with me and I come to believe that you may be experiencing any of these dynamics, I may refer you to another provider. If this occurs, it is important that you understand that a referral to a counselor who has experience in Domestic Abuse would be to ensure that you can access care, not to abandon your care. If you think you may be experiencing a relationship with any type of abuse, you can also call the 24/7 National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 for information or for someone to talk to anytime.
