  • I’m based in Kenmore, Washington, and I work with clients virtually across Washington State.

  • I currently offer virtual sessions for clients across Washington State and am not offering in-person sessions at this time.

  • My fee is $140 per individual therapy session, and $40 per session for group therapy.

    I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who need a reduced rate. Please reach out for more information and current availability.

  • No, I do not accept insurance, and all of my services are private pay. Payment can be made using a credit card, HSA, or FSA.

    However, I am an out-of-network provider, which means your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of the session cost. I’m happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.

    Not all plans offer out-of-network benefits, and coverage can vary depending on your plan. I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn more about your specific benefits.

  • The first step doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. A consultation is simply a chance for us to connect and see if working together feels like the right fit.

    Here’s what you can expect:

    • A brief conversation about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping for

    • Time to ask any questions you have about my approach or the process

    • A chance for both of us to see if it feels like a good fit and talk through next steps

    Consultations are a simple, no-pressure way to explore your options and take that first step toward support. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
