Therapeutic Time

My goal is to help you be the best you possible. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will begin to deal with long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Customary charges will be invoiced to services that are cancelled or need to be rescheduled with less than 24 business day hours. If the time allotted cannot be rescheduled because there has not been enough notice to contact clients and rescheduled treatment sessions, those hours will be invoiced at the customary fee of $100/150 per hour.

Confidentiality is the hallmark of the therapeutic relationship! The law states that a client has the right to have information provided or shared during a psychotherapy session to remain private and cannot be shared without written or at time oral permission. Suspected Child Abuse (any one under the age of 18) or Elder abuse (anyone 65 years of age or older) will be reported to the appropriate authorities as required by law.

I am one of many therapist in the Antelope Valley as you will see if you perform a search on Psychology Today. It is my belief that comfort, compatibility, and trust which is built over time are the three key components to a successful match. I would encourage you to read about and select the therapist who you feel might best meet your needs.
