Inclusion and Recognition

In my practice, I am committed to including and recognizing all clients, regardless of race, age, ethnicity, culture, ability, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, relationship status, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, neurodiversity, or any other part of an individual’s identity. I strive to create an affirming and respectful environment where all aspects of identity are welcomed and valued.

In an effort to protect our clients and staff, we kindly request that you do not attend in-person sessions if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or any contagious airborne illnesses, such as the common cold or COVID-19.

If you are unable to attend in person due to illness, we are happy to offer the option of switching to a telehealth video or phone session. To ensure a smooth transition, please provide at least 24 hours' notice for rescheduling or cancellations.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
