My practice is a fee-for-service practice. Insurance companies, not I, make coverage decisions.

I am not a member of any HMO program, nor am I on any list of preferred providers. If you have a PPO, my fees may be partially reimbursed under the category of "out of network provider." My services may be covered by private insurance.

I work with adults only. My practice is designed for women and men who are committed to their own healing, recovery, and personal development. I work with people in an age range of 24 - 90+.

You use my consultation services to learn more about healing and recovery exercises and how to apply them and integrate them into your life.
