While this is not the best fit for all folks seeking therapy, as a chronically ill and immunocompromised person, it is what I'm able to offer as a therapist. I appreciate your understanding! 

Standard sessions are 50 minutes long for individuals. For relationships, I offer 75 minute sessions. 

Frequency-wise we can meet weekly, every other week, 1x every 4 weeks or as-needed.
