Frequently Asked Questions
Where are your sessions conducted?
Most sessions are conducted virtually at this time. I use a HIPPA-compliant telehealth platform called SimplePractice to facilitate videoconferencing. This secure format prioritizes and maintains your privacy throughout sessions, and allows for high-quality evidence-based treatment from the comfort of your preferred private space. Evidence-based therapies delivered via telehealth platforms match the effectiveness of in-person treatment.
Do you offer in-person or home-based services?
Although telehealth is the primary format for most sessions, in-person or home-based services can be accommodated occasionally. Please note that there is typically an additional charge for travel for such appointments.
What are the fees per session?
- 60-min Initial Appointment (Diagnostic Interview): $280
- 53-60 min Individual Therapy Appointment: $250
- 38-52 min Individual Therapy Appointment: $220
- 16-37 min Individual Appointment: $110
- 15-minute optional phone consultation: free

Do you accept insurance?
I am not contracted with any health insurance companies, and I am considered an out-of-network provider. I can however provide you with a comprehensive “superbill” with the required information to submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact your health insurance carrier directly to find out more about your out-of-network benefits.
Do I have to be located in the Pacific Northwest during appointments?
Clients have to be physically located in the states of Washington, Idaho, or Iowa during telehealth appointments. Importantly, I look forward to soon offering services to clients located in the state of Oregon.
Do you offer services to children?
I work exclusively with adult (18+) clients.
What can I expect when getting started?
After you contact me we will have a 15-min (free) phone consultation to determine if meeting with me makes sense based on your current needs. If that is the case, we will schedule a 60-min initial appointment to begin an assessment of your present symptoms. This diagnostic evaluation typically lasts 2-3 sessions. I will subsequently provide you with feedback and treatment recommendations and we may then decide to start a course of therapy.
