What else should I know about you?


I conduct all sessions remotely, typically using my Zoom for Healthcare video conferencing software which is privacy compliant. I have a medical condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity that means I suffer a variety of symptoms when I am exposed to fragrances from other people's personal care products. During the COVID pandemic when we all went online, I discovered I was far more healthy than I used to be when seeing clients in person. So I have decided to prioritize my health and I am keeping all sessions virtual. The main thing you need to think about in this regard is auditory privacy at your end. If other people are at home sometimes it can be difficult to ensure you have privacy at your end of the call and we have to get creative: Some folks see me from their car (either parked at home using home wifi or parked somewhere else on their phone/data). Some folks see me from their patio, and a few do a "walk and talk" by phone. I prefer video if we can find a way, especially as we're getting to know each other, but your privacy is our priority, so if telephone is our only private option we can do that.

Another thing you should be aware of before choosing me is that I typically travel a couple of times a year, for one to four weeks at a time, and I do not have colleagues covering for me. I always give my clients plenty of notice before my vacations, but if occasional gaps of three weeks or so will be a problem for you, it might be best for you to find someone who has a group practice where colleagues can cover for each other when going on vacation.
