Get to know the therapist:
"I want you to know when you're alone and you feel afraid
You're not the only person in the world that isn't okay
There's millions of us just like you"

Of Special Note
*I prioritize individualized client care, wellness, and safety and I strive to ensure every client has my undivided attention for their hour with me. Times throughout the day may get adjusted within a 10-15 minute range to accommodate safety issues, imminent needs, or intense sessions. I try to ensure that clients still get their full session whenever possible even if times are shifted. There may be occasions where sessions must be reduced from a full hour to 45 minutes. I do not charge fees for clients running late to appointments; however, if more than 25 minutes late, the appointment will be rescheduled and a no call, no show fee may be applied..
