Additionally, brainspotting intensives can be used to address any negative self beliefs and/or problematic behaviors. Brainspotting intensives are not covered by insurance.
What is your cancellation policy:
I request that clients cancel 24 hours prior to our appointment time. Additionally, rescheduling within the same week, provided I have availability, is requested to be made 12 hours prior to our initial appointment time. The late cancellation or no show fee is $150. This is not covered through insurance and is billed to the card on file with Simple Practice.

My availability may change from week to week, but typically I work Monday-Friday 1:00 PM-7:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Is there a client portal?
Yes, I use Simple Practice, which is HIPPA compliant. I can upload documents and information through there. Additionally, we can communicate through the portal. Scheduling is also done in Simple Practice. Cash pay client’s will be billed through Simple Practice as well.
What will the first session look like?
The first session will consist of me getting to know you better. I will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment, which is basically gathering all of your background information. This will allow me to get a clear picture of what is going on and how I can help you. Together we will create a treatment plan.
How often will I be seen?
This is person specific and depends on several factors including severity of symptoms, availability, and finances. This will be discussed in detail during the first session.
