I call my practice The Community Couch because the name feels inclusive and accessible - like private therapy should be. I want you to be able to see me for therapy whether you work at a corporation, a small non-profit, or for the city; as a retiree who has Medicare; as someone with Medicaid who relies on affordability; or as someone who needs to pay out-of-pocket but can't unless the rate is reasonable.

I have a few no-fee appointments for clients facing more complex barriers to care.
