Nice to Meet You

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working with folks for the past 18 years, when I started my training in 2000. In 2005, I became a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in private practice with a diverse population from children and Family to individual adults, couples, and working with divorced parents on co-parenting. I provide a safe, calm, friendly, empathetic & down to earth environment for my clients. I feel it is important for people in therapy to be able to that space to explore the obstacles that prevent us from having a fulfilling life. I work from a psychodynamic/insight orientation but feel that it is crucial to develop the skills and the abilities to make changes in the here and now. In addition, I include mindfulness as a part of the work to help folks be able to become more in-tune with themselves.

Your registration is complete and your appointment is scheduled. Review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
