My Story
Professional Experience
Navigating life’s transitions can be overwhelming at times. Life always moves from one perspective to another. It not only gives us a new dimension of the future, but it gives a new depth to the past. Seeking therapy is a client strength. I understand it is a vulnerable thing for a client to allow someone into their world. A world often guarded, not seen by many.

Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
