Welcome to my team page! I’m so pleased to be sharing my office with sex positive, all gender and lifestyle affirming therapists, and I’m also quite happy to say that that many of us offer lower fee and sliding scale appointments. We also offer subsidizing appointments, where you can opt to pay more than the full fee to subsidize appointments for those in our communities who are struggling to afford therapy.

 

Please feel free to reach out to any of us directly to ask about our availability or any other questions you may have. If you’d like to be added to our sliding scale, subsidizing, or DBT group waiting lists, please fill out one of the forms linked in this sentence or on the contact page.

 

PLEASE NOTE: We are all still meeting remotely via Zoom—the HIPAA-compliant (end-to-end encrypted) version, and some of us are offering in-person sessions as well.
