I have availability on Tuesday and Thursday mornings-evenings and Friday mornings. My schedule is fairly flexible - you aren’t required to keep the same appointment time every week unless you want to.

I am Out-of-Network with insurance for a few reasons. One is that I strive to protect your private information which can become difficult with the requirements of insurance companies. Managed care can also be extremely time consuming, complicated, and still limiting for what benefits they offer clients. Without dealing with insurance companies I am able to devote all of my time to providing personalized and thorough attention to client work, and can be more responsive outside of session.

I work with Mentaya to help clients submit invoices automatically so they can get reimbursed for session. I can send you invoices directly that you can manually submit to your insurance. and do offer financial accommodation for a number of spots on my caseload.
