I work solely with individual adults

I generally offer options six days out of the week, including some weekend times. Scheduling varies, so let’s talk about your calendar needs when we meet. Most weekday session openings fall between 11:30am and 5. I have sessions all day on Saturdays starting (usually) about 7:30am. Sunday timings are generally afternoon. I try to offer one or two time slots after 5pm during a weekday, but these usually book up quickly.

It’s relaxed, comfortable, and wheelchair accessible. It’s clean, has four large windows, and is sometimes a little messy. The air is fresh and I have multiple types of chairs you can sit in, as well as a white shag rug if you like the floor!

My office is I central Bellingham, Washington → 103 East Holly Street

I work in person rather than via tele-health (video / email / phone / etc.), so let’s meet! Free consultations are casual and require no commitments. I will be happy to answer your questions!
