My Counseling Practice Update
My counseling practice is currently full and I am not accepting new clients. Due to the multifaceted nature of my work—serving as a therapist, an IFS and EMDR Consultant, and a Workshop Facilitator—I am unable to accommodate additional clients at this time. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to this limitation.If you email me regarding becoming a client, please understand that it may take several weeks for me to respond. Additionally, I am uncertain when I will be able to accept new clients in the future. While you are welcome to complete my Psychotherapy Prescreener, please note that this does not guarantee acceptance as a client. , please be aware that doing so does not guarantee acceptance as a client.

Good Faith Estimate
The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith estimate of the cost of services at our practice. However, Ohio licensing board rules require us to provide you with the actual cost of service charges in a written informed consent form to which you must agree prior to us providing services. That will be available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing. In most cases it is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make, which depends in part on your efforts with the process. You will be free to discontinue services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with the informed consent form language.
Although the No Surprises Law says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges, i.e. if you are charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided, that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of licensing board rules, since you will be agreeing upfront to actual charges per session prior to being seen. Dispute information is available upon request, however. Any changes to our fees will require a change in the informed consent form fees, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect, otherwise the fees will remain in effect for 6 months.
