Couple hand shake with a little love

Prior to working together, I’ll meet with you first to determine whether there’s a good fit for your needs.

My caseload is frequently full, though I do get the occasional opening. Feel free to email your request for a consultation and I’ll let you know if I have any upcoming availability. 

Please email your name, which state you live in, and your message. Please note that my email is not encrypted, which means that it is vulnerable to being accessed by unauthorized people and hence can compromise the security of such communications. It is inadvisable to include any personal health information. Emailing implies your agreement to accept the risks of email communication.
