Get Started

Important Information

  • My rate is $150 per 50-minute session.

    Beginning February 1, 2024, I’ll be accepting the following insurance plans:

    Premera

    Lifewise

    Blue Cross/Blue Shield-Premera

    I offer superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, so please inquire if your insurance is not listed above.

    Note: Please be sure to contact your insurance carrier to confirm your in-and-out-of-network benefits.

  • Our first session involves an intake process where I will ask questions about what brings you to therapy, the symptoms you've been experiencing, and how long they've been impacting you. I'll also gather some demographic and family history information. We'll discuss your therapy goals and decide the most effective ways to help you progress.

    My therapy style is personable and engaging. I like to use humor and be irreverent when appropriate. I encourage you to be you because I want you to feel relaxed, welcomed, and accepted. I focus less on being directive and more on allowing you to set the tone and direction of each session.

  • I strongly encourage all clients to attend weekly therapy sessions. The therapy process is most effective when the work is frequent, focused, and consistent.

  • I have a standard cancellation policy of 24-hour notice, or the full session fee is charged. There are exceptions for emergencies and sudden illness. If there is availability to reschedule in the same week, appointments can be moved, but there is no guarantee of availability for late cancellations. Instead of cancellation, in-person sessions can be switched to telehealth when appropriate.

  • My office hours are Monday - Thursday 10am - 5pm. I am out of the office on Fridays.

    I currently offer in-person sessions on Mondays only. All other sessions are conducted via telehealth through a secure, confidential, and HIPAA-compliant platform.

    Please note: telehealth sessions are available only to clients residing in Washington State.
