Three Simple Ways In
How we can work together in Orchid
Virtual Sessions
Close a door in Orchid, open your laptop, and we start. No drive, no waiting room, nobody sees you arrive.
Book a virtual sessionIn Person
Some things land better in the same room. My Boca Raton office is quiet, private, and yours for the hour.
Book in personTalk by Phone
Not sure yet? Ring me and ask. It costs nothing, you get me rather than a receptionist, and there is no pitch.
Call (754) 225-9819You do not need a crisis to justify a session. Most of my Orchid clients came in because life had simply stopped feeling like theirs. I have been licensed for over fourteen years, and I still think the first job is to listen properly before doing anything clever.
Most of my Orchid clients see me by video, which means therapy fits into the day instead of eating it. For Brazilian and Latino families near Orchid, this is not a translated service; it is the same care in your language.
If someone in your family near Orchid has a case pending, an evaluation may carry more weight than you expect. I take clients from every corner of Indian River County, the Treasure Coast and the Sebastian–Vero Beach area included, whether you drive down to Boca Raton or never leave Orchid. One short conversation will tell us both whether I am the right fit for you.
