Cancellation and Rescheduling Limitations
Psychotherapy relies on a stable framework. I follow a no-cancellation and no-reschedule policy, meaning your reserved weekly time slots are yours and are billed monthly, regardless of whether you are able to attend. Think of it like renting a seat in a course, a gym membership, or a subscription: the fee ensures access to the structure—not just individual sessions. This ensures a meaningfully consistent psychotherapy experience, as well as a meaningfully consistent income for me (given I work with a small number of clients at a time).
Fees and Access
You may contact me using the form here for information about my current fee. I also reserve two in-person weekly slots for pro bono or pay-what-you-can therapy for clients with significant financial limitations. These are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are currently occupied till February 2026.
A Reflective, Boundaried, and Confidential Space
We begin with four consultation sessions to understand the changes you hope to see in yourself through psychotherapy. This time also helps us explore whether we are a good fit for each other. If we decide to work together, we agree on a consistent weekly schedule: either two 50-minute sessions (e.g., Tuesdays and Fridays at 3 PM) or one 75-minute session each week. This regular rhythm supports the depth and continuity of our work.
Counterintuitively, strong boundaries provide a great sense of freedom. I invite you to embrace this freedom during our session time. Your session time is a protected space where all parts of you are welcome—even the ones you may feel are dark, conflicted, or socially unacceptable: anger, aggression, childishness, envy, greed, hatred, and so on. Everything you share is confidential and private between us—within the limits of the law and safety. These limits are:
If you disclose imminent plans to harm yourself or someone else, I may need to act to ensure safety.
If you disclose ongoing abuse of a child or elder, I am legally required to report it.
Our relationship is also boundaried to our session times. Outside of session time, you can contact me for scheduling or rescheduling. All other matters are best held in session, where we can reflect on them together.
