What should a new client know about working with you?

My aim is to help clients utilize their innate creativity and imagination to identify and develop or rediscover purpose and authentic voice. My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, and appreciative of the power of humor to heal when its use fits the discussion. Once you begin the path of self-exploration, you can make changes in your life. You can start to make choices that will move you forward and bring you more satisfaction, helping to find clarity and achieve goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will provide a free consultation call with you to see if you'd like to schedule a session. If so, we can meet for an introductory session. You will not be charged if you decide that I am not a good fit for you. If we move forward, that first session will be charged. Sessions will be weekly, and if we are working psychoanalytically, we might do more than one session weekly. Within in the first 6 weeks, I ask that we do at least one weekly session. After that, if indicated, we can work out a schedule that fits with your life.

More information on payments and coverage

I do not take insurance, however, I will provide you with receipt of your sessions that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. There are inherent privacy concerns when using insurance for mental health therapy. When you file an insurance claim for therapy sessions, your insurance company may have access to sensitive information about your diagnosis, treatment plan, and progress. I value your privacy and safety above all else.
