In order to try to be mindful of the times we live in and reduce spread of the COVID 19 virus I am transitioning to telehealth. At this time how we transition is an individual process for each client and I will work with all of my clients to come up with a plan that suits them. For webinar I use Zoom and I subscribe to their package that is HIPAA compliant. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or feedback about this process.
