About
I work with children and families and adolescents. I do hypnotherapy and play therapy and sand tray therapy and I work in Claymont Delaware. I'm very approachable, kind,gentle, and flexible and friendly. I try to work around people's schedules even though I have my own busy family. I appreciate people who respect my schedule as well and will work with me one to one to arrange a working plan. I will do office, online or home visits depending on what is most needed. I take some insurance or will do self pay on a sliding scale.
what I really love about my work is that I have the opportunity to get to know different people, and to discover who they are as actual human beings. In my daily life I am restricted to the vantage point of my own personal and cultural experience. While the same is true with my work as a therapist I am in the unique position of being entrusted with another person or persons sacred experience. I am interested in staying attuned to people and fine tuning my own capabilities to discern their needs for healing or support in being of assistance.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I charge what the standard rate is for what is competetitive so that I can be self respecting. I used to charge very low prices and then I would get taken advantage of. I figured out that I needed to charge the average rate and then if they can't pay I can offer a sliding scale. I take insurance including Medicaid.
