Heading 3

Welcome!

​​​

I have curated this website to provide you with information about my services and to educate you on the latest research and developments in mental health counseling.

​

Feel free to explore; many of your questions can be answered on my pages about play therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing.  I look forward to working with you!

​

FIRST: How to make an Appointment, getting started:

​

Please scroll down to complete my Request For Services Form; I will email or call you to schedule your brief telephone consultation when a space becomes available.   This is done on a first-come, first-served basis. 

 

Second, after we speak on the phone, please visit the Book Your Appointment page or click the BOOK HERE button below.

 

You will then request to become a website member and can book or cancel your appointments by signing in to the site above or by tapping the MENU button on your mobile device.  If you have difficulty, please reach out to me. I can help or cancel your appointments.

 

Thirdly, you should send me the client's full legal name, birth date, and email address so you can receive HIPAA-compliant, confidential documents from THERAPYPORTAL, not from this website

 

After setting up through the email link, click the THERAPYPORTAL button below or on the Book Online page to access and complete your Intake Paperwork and any releases to speak to collaborators in your umbrella of care.

​

If you do not complete your intake paperwork or cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, you will be charged the FULL FEE for your appointment.

 

This website will send you appointment reminders 48 & 24 hours in advance, with directions to the office and the location you are going to. 

​

​After you sign up on the waitlist for services, you can always call me directly at (732)-567-2009 and leave a voicemail. 

 

Please click here to complete a Request for Services form; you will receive an email response.

What do I do first?

Before your appointment, calling your insurance agency to find out your benefits and deductibles may be helpful.

Sample questions that may help you are located on the Book Online & Billing Questions page.

Specific step-by-step instructions are listed above.

​

How do I pay if I have insurance?

You are responsible for paying for services when they are rendered, managing your account benefits, and contacting your insurance; I am an OON (out-of-network) provider.  Please read in more detail on the Billing Questions page.

​

What happens at my intake appointment?

At your first appointment, we will review the Intake Paperwork you downloaded and/or filled out through the Therapy Portal before your visit. 

We will then discuss your needs and goals, and what they will look like when you achieve them, explore potential treatment options, and start immediately!

​

If you have any questions, please call or email to speak with me.
