My Approach to Helping
I bring over twenty years of health care experience to my practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern.
I work with Health/Chronic Pain, Cardio-Pulmonary behavioral management, Sex Therapy, Couples Therapy, Trans Gender & Intersexed Clients, GLBTQI clients and families. I specialize in major life transitions like medical crisis, death/bereavement, traumatic events, or other major changes to your everyday life.
I enjoy working with people from diverse sexualities, lifestyles and backgrounds. It is my hope to provide a warm and safe therapy environment where you can learn and grow.
Call me today to learn how to make your life a more fulfilling and joyous Journey.
More Info About My Practice
Individuals are 50 minute sessions.
Couples & Families are 80 minute sessions.
I will provide you with an estimate during our first session. I will be clear about this amount and make sure you fully understand the psychotherapy service and payment arrangement.
Insurance
In order to protect your privacy, I do not bill insurance directly for my services. I can provide you with a superbill which can be used to obtain reimbursement from your insurance. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. My services are eligible under your Health Care Spending Account (HSA) if you have that option through your employer. Please contact your plan/employer for more details on services covered.
Payment
Fees are due at the time of service. I usually like to take care of fees before our session begins so it is out of the way. I accept cash, checks, Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, and Debit Cards. I accept flexible health care account spending debit cards that are master card based. All cards are processed through therapy partner for your confidentiality and convenience. I do not allow clients to carry a balance for services from week to week. Payment is due at the time services are rendered.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I specialize in work with gender identity disorder, gender dysphoria, and transgenderism. I have worked in the transgender and intersex field for over 20 years and have a firm understanding not only of the biology but of the emotional and relational components that come with this unique circumstance. I have a passion for helping those in a state of questiong, in transition or in need of personal growth and relationship work around transgenderism. I do my best to provide a safe, warm space for you to grow and learn in.
How Psychotherapy Can Help
Therapy helps people because it allows them the space they need to find their own strengths.
