In keeping with the direction of government officials at the Center for Disease Control and Whatcom County I am seeking reasonable precautions while continuing our work together. These include:
- Moving to our sessions to telemedicine meetings through your client portal supported by Jituzu https://www.jituzu.com/ when possible. Access to the internet is required.
- As an essential healthcare provider, even shelter in place requests allow for mental health services to continue uninterrupted. When possible, and if not otherwise indicated, we will proceed with our sessions online. However, I am keeping my heart and ears open to discuss your individual and unique circumstances such as lack of access to technology or insurance coverage for telehealth as barriers to online sessions. If we can meet safely and according to the recommended social distancing recommendations it is my goal that essential care is uninterrupted.
- In keeping with general recommendations, please remain home if your are experiencing symptoms such as a a cough, fever, sore throat or shortness of breath. They are asked to remain home if they have had known or suspected contact with someone who has contracted the COVID19 virus.
- Late cancellation fees, including for telehealth sessions, are always waived when cancellations occur due to illness.
