Hello!

I am a therapist who has just opened up a new private practice in an office on the West side of Madison. I am looking to serve our military population and their families in all stages of their careers.

I recognize the stigma that can follow a service member who may seek therapy which is why my billing does not include any form of insurance or Medical Assistance. Simply put, no record will follow you and no one will ever know you were seen, strictly confidential. Nothing will ever be added to your medical or personal files so you can see me without worrying about who will find out. Insurance companies require a medical diagnosis in order to authorize coverage. Not everyone who comes to see me needs or fits a diagnosis, which is why I don’t believe in assigning one just so some company will cover the bill for them.

I provide a hefty discount for service members (up to 65%) and a sliding fee scale for those facing financial hardship. I am looking to start the following groups:

• Parents of service members
• Children of service members
• Service members, pre and post deployment

Getting involved in your mental health early on can make a world of difference to you down the road in your careers, personal relationships as well as your personal well-being.

Feel free to give me a call with questions, or visit my website!

I look forward to hearing from you!
