You're Not Alone In This

Are you having more bad days than good? Having difficulties finding the energy that you use to have? Feeling "fatigued" and concerned about your next step? The physical and emotional toll can be tiring and you deserve to feel better.  I will be there to help guide you on this journey. Together, we can work toward you feeling like yourself again.  

​With more than ten years of extensive experience with training and helping clients through many of life's challenges including relationships, school problems,  and adjusting, I know I can help you. I strive to bring kindness, genuineness, and humor into the room as I support and guide you.  We will formulate a plan and goals together so you achieve your goals and alleviate your discomfort. I will teach you skills and help you gain greater self-awareness so you can feel in control again.

I realize that it's a process to find a therapist that's right for you or your adolescent. I offer a free consultation where we will discuss your needs, your schedule, and make sure that I'm a great fit for you. It takes courage to start this process and consistency to meet your goals.  Stay strong.

Remote Therapy - California Residents

Remote therapy is also known as distance therapy, video therapy, teletherapy, telehealth, online therapy, or telemedicine. Several hours in my private practice schedule are reserved for teletherapy sessions.  These live video therapy sessions or phone sessions are offered to California residents.  It provides convenience and accessibility when it's hard to come into my office.  The telehealth sessions are through a secure HIPAA platform for your security and privacy. Before starting teletherapy, we will discuss if the platform is an appropriate fit for your therapeutic needs. ​

​Remote therapy is ​perfect: for individuals with health concerns, for those with transportation issues, busy parents, busy schedules, for individuals who want extra privacy, etc.

Sliding Scale - I hold a few spots open for sliding scale clients and may be able to offer you a sliding scale fee based on your financial needs. Your mental health is important and I hope that by providing affordable sliding scale therapy options I can ensure you will receive high quality therapy that will help you enjoy a happier life. If you do not feel you can afford my full fee, please reach out to me and we can discuss options.  If I am unable to directly help you, I can offer you referrals to resources in the area.

Payment is required after the completion of each appointment. Credit card information will remain on file, to be used if a no show or late cancellation occurs. If you choose to use a different form of payment at the time of an appointment, cash and checks are accepted. Missed appointment fees will be charged to the credit card on file after a missed or late cancelled appointment.      ​

Therapy sessions are generally scheduled for around 55 minutes. I typically see clients on a weekly basis; however, we may see each other more or less frequently depending on your individual needs. Your therapy session is a time reserved specifically for you. If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment, you must contact 24 hours in advance or you will be potentially be charged a late cancellation fee equivalent to your usual session rate for appointments. However, in cases of emergency or sickness, I will do my best to reschedule you later in the same week, without additional charge, provided a mutually acceptable time can be found. If no time can be found, you might be charged a fee equivalent to the session cost. You are liable for accrued charges. I will consider the appointment cancelled if client(s) arrive more than 15 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. All office policies will be sent, reviewed, and signed before our first session.  If you have any questions about any policy, I am happy to discuss your concerns or questions with you.
