Sliding Scale

I believe that everyone deserves compassionate and equitable care. Therefore, I offer my services on a sliding scale. In order to provide services to as many individuals and families in our community as possible, I request your active participation in deciding your contribution. Please consider the following guidelines in determining the appropriate pay scale. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
