If you are a new client, you may schedule your initial appointment with me by calling at (219) 238-6513 or through the Contact Us site on this page. If I am unavailable, please leave a message on my confidential voicemail. 

At the time when we schedule your first appointment, I will e-mail a portal invitation to you. You will be able to fill out all of your information and complete the necessary intake forms prior to the first session. If for any reason we determine that your needs and level of care would be better met by a different therapist or specialist, I will do my best to provide referrals within your network. 

AFTER-HOURS CONTACT & EMERGENCY SERVICES

 You may leave a confidential voicemail or contact me via email, however my receipt of the message and ability to respond in a timely manner outside of established session times cannot be guaranteed.

Cancellation Policy:  If you need to cancel an appointment, please make every effort to do so at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment time. Illness, emergency, and complicating life events certainly happen and will be taken into consideration in whether late cancellations or appointment no shows are charged to the client.  In general, after the first no show or late cancellation, any sessions cancelled within less than 24 hours or missed with no effort to contact therapist will be billed at the regular session rate and the fee will be collected prior to rescheduling more appointments.
