I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please inform me at least 24 hours in advance. If you do not cancel, and or do not show to the scheduled session, you will be charged the full session fee.
I honor a 15-minute grace period for you to arrive to a scheduled session. After the 15 minutes you will be considered a “No Show.”
Additionally, if you have more than 3 late cancellations and or no shows, can lead to involuntary termination of services.

I respond to all emails, texts, and phone calls within 1-2 business days. After making contact, we will schedule an intake or meet & greet appointment.
The first session will be an initial assessment and will focus on getting to know each other to determine if we are a good fit for one another.

Counselors are bound by strict confidentiality standards to protect the privacy of their clients. Everything you share with a counselor stays in session.
However, there are important limitations to confidentiality that clients should be aware of. If a counselor learns of potential abuse or neglect, particularly involving minors or individuals aged 65 or older, they are legally required to report this to the appropriate authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of those vulnerable individuals.
Additionally, if a client expresses intent to harm themselves or others, the counselor is obligated to take necessary steps to prevent harm, which may involve disclosing this information to relevant parties, such as emergency services or emergency contacts.
While confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counseling relationship, these exceptions are in place to protect clients and others from serious harm.
I make it a priority to be collaborative and work together with clients, always prioritizing safety, including creating safety plans when needed.
