What to Expect

First, we schedule an initial 50-minute session to see how I can help you and together we decide if it feels like a good fit to work together. This initial session may include talking about your astrology birth chart, transits, and working with tarot as much as you wish. It may be helpful for you to read Introduction to Archetypal Astrology by Richard Tarnas to learn more about the kind of astrology I practice.

​

Confidentiality

All information you share and our working relationship will be kept confidential.

​

Weekly Sessions

We meet weekly for 50-minute sessions, via Zoom, on a regular day and time set aside for you. If there is a week you need to cancel, please notify me at least 48-hours prior to the session. I charge my full fee for missed sessions without such notification, for any reason. This includes illness and miscalculations of time. Please let me know if you are running more than five minutes late.

​

Time Zone

I schedule all sessions in Pacific Time, USA. You will need to convert to your time zone, including variations in time change during Daylight Savings Time. A helpful resource is timeanddate.com.

​

Sessions over Zoom

Please plan to be in a quiet and confidential space, where you can speak freely without distractions or interruptions. This means we cannot do sessions if you're driving or multitasking in some other way. Similarly, you should avoid being in a crowded public place.

 

Fee & Payment

Once we set your initial session appointment, I will email you an invoice to pay prior to the session. Then, going forward, I will send you an invoice at the end of each month through Square, and payment is due within seven (7) days. If you would like to speak with me between our sessions, other than for scheduling purposes, you may contact me through phone, and I will pro-rate our time together and add it to the invoice.

​

Insurance

I operate outside the insurance system because contracting your wellbeing through insurance companies limits quality of care and confidentiality. If you are located in California and have a PPO insurance plan, you may be able to get a portion of my fees reimbursed from your insurance company. If you are unable to afford therapy without insurance, you may wish to search openpathcollective.org for therapists offering low-cost therapy.

​

Sliding Scale

All my sliding scale spots are currently FULL. I will update this section when more sliding scale slots become available. Currently, 30% of my caseload is receiving sliding scale or reduced fee, based on The Green Bottle Sliding Scale Method, created by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.

 

Email & Phone

You may email anytime about scheduling. Anything else you want to discuss, please contact me via phone or bring into our next session so we can talk about it together. I return non-urgent calls and emails made on the weekends on the following Monday.
