Do you work via Skype?

Absolutely. I have clients all over the world. With over six years of Skype session experience, I have seen this work translates just as potently over the ether as in my office.

Do you take insurance?

Not at this time. In order to offer you the highest level of time and care, I have opted to stay out of network with insurance providers.

What if I can’t make my appointment?

Cancellations need to be made 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.  If an appointment is missed or canceled with less than 24 hours notice, you are responsible for full payment of the session. Arriving late for session will result in a shortened session.

How many sessions will I need?

There are no guarantees about treatment outcomes or what you will experience.  The process of healing requires effort on your part and you will need to work on things in session and at home. You may experience a range of emotions.  Attempting to relieve relationship issues may result in changes that were not originally intended.  I encourage you to discuss with me your experience of the healing process and ask questions about my treatment methods & business procedures.

How do I reach you in an emergency?

I have a telephone voice mail that is available at all times for routine messages. I will make every attempt to return messages within 24 hours. If you are having an emergency and need immediate assistance, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Are sessions confidential?

In general, all communication between a therapist and a client is confidential and protected by law and may not be revealed without your written permission.  But, there are exceptions. Exceptions to confidentiality include if I believe my client is a danger to self or others. I then may need to breach confidentiality in order to provide protection and safety.  Also, disclosure is required when there is reasonable suspicion of child, elder, or dependent abuse. Disclosure may also be required in certain legal proceedings. If you initiate litigation that puts your mental status at issue, the judge may order me to testify.
