I am located in the beautiful community of Verrado in Buckeye, Arizona.  I sublet an office within the Majestic Beauty Spa, Suite A104 in the white Jackson building located across from CVS Pharmacy.

It is completely normal to be nervous about your first therapy session; everyone is.  It’s not easy to talk to a stranger about some of your most personal and private thoughts and feelings.  I also consider it brave, and a sign that you are ready and willing to step out of your comfort zone in order to feel whole again.  I get that therapy can feel scary initially, and that’s why I’m committed to making sure you feel comfortable, safe, seen, heard, and accepted by the end of the first session.  You will walk out of our first meeting feeling understood and with a greater sense of hope and comfort, maybe for the first time in a while.

The length of sessions for a traditional therapy hour is 50 minutes

I offer counseling sessions Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

$195.  Payment is due at the time of service.  I accept cash, debit or credit cards, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) card or Health Savings Account (HSA) cards, and checks.  Cards will be processed through my online HIPAA-secure practice management platform.

I am in network with Medicare and have a limited number of spots for Medicare clients. For other plans, I am out of network. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Please check your plan’s benefits and deductible directly with your insurer.

Working out of network gives us more flexibility to focus on your goals and choose the care that fits you. I am in network with Medicare, and you may be able to use out-of-network benefits with other plans. See the answer above for details.

I work in the master-planned community of Verrado.  It is full of beautiful trails, desert hikes, and sidewalks.  We can determine the pace and route together.  Clients and I usually begin and end outside my office if we are walking sidewalks and local trails. 

For those wanting to hike into the desert, we meet at the top of one of the many trailheads 5 minutes from my office.  It is always a great idea to wear comfortable shoes and bring water.  There is also a great coffee shop across the street from my office for those early morning walks!

It is hot in Arizona during the summer months!  During the summer, I do mostly virtual and office therapy.  As soon as the mornings and evenings cool off, I schedule walks in the early morning hours and later evening hours. 

If you are interested, please inquire about these options when we chat. 

The length of therapy depends on your goals and what you need. We’ll decide together how often to meet and revisit that as things change. Some clients begin weekly and later move to every other week or monthly; others return for a check-in when new challenges arise.
