Cancellation Policy/ No Show Policy for Individual Therapy: 48-hour notice/ 9am, business days

If you need to cancel or reschedule your upcoming appointment, please contact me through email or text messaging 48-hours prior to your scheduled appointment (excludes weekends and holidays).

Late cancellations/ No-Show fee will be subjected to a $140 fee, not covered by insurance.

The late fee covers the therapy services that were unavailable for another client to utilize in a timely manner.

I offer consideration to waive late fees for emergencies and illness. If our schedule is aligned to reschedule in the same week, late fee will be waived.

If I ever have to cancel late, I will offer a late cancelation in return.

What it looks like to receive therapeutic services from Space Psychological Services:

I am a non-pathologizing, anti-racist, 2SLGBTQQAI+ affirming, somatic, book-nerd therapist guided by a social justice lens.

My approach is person first centered, humanistic, interactive, and grounded in compassion. I vibe with curiosity, warmth, and a deep respect for the many stories, systems, relationships, and survival strategies that shape who you are.

In our work together, I may incorporate elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Integrative Relationship Therapy, Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Hakomi principles, and Polyvagal Theory.

All of my work is rooted in a somatic and neuroscience-informed foundation. This means we may explore not only thoughts and emotions, but also the wisdom of the nervous system, the body’s quiet signals, and the patterns that have helped you survive.

Therapy with me is collaborative, interactive, compassionate, while adding an exploratory double-dog dare challenge to go deeper. It is a space where insight, healing, and a little bit of human weirdness are all welcome.
