FAQ

I am licensed in Oregon and California as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and licensed in Colorado as a Professional Clinical Counselor.

My state licenses dictate that I can only provide therapy to those residing in Oregon, California, or Colorado.

20 minute consultations are FREE

50 minute sessions are $200

75 minute sessions are $300

100 minute sessions are $400

For the first three months of therapy I strongly recommend weekly sessions. After that initial period we can adjust the frequency of your sessions.

I reserve a portion of my caseload for sliding scale clients.

FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY

I recognize that therapy is a significant financial investment, and I believe in being transparent about the value and commitment behind my services. I take my role as a psychotherapist very seriously, especially when it comes to providing an intentional and sacred space for trauma healing. This work requires extensive self-care, thoughtful preparation, and deep reflection to ensure that I am fully present and effective for each of my clients.

My commitment to your well-being extends beyond our sessions. A huge portion of my life is dedicated to continually engaging in education and specialized training to hone my skills and deepen my own personal and spiritual journey, recognizing that I can guide others only as far as I have gone myself.

I have chosen not to work with insurance companies. This is a conscious choice rooted in my commitment to offer personalized care without external constraints. Insurance models often impose limitations that can pathologize experiences and dictate treatment based on profitability rather than individual needs of the client or the therapist. Working independently allows me to focus entirely on your well-being, ensuring that our work is guided solely by your needs.

Thank you for considering this investment in yourself. It is a privilege to accompany you on your healing journey.

I understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes schedules change. To ensure fairness and make the most of our time together, I have a 48-hour cancellation policy.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 48 hours' notice prior to your scheduled session. This notice allows me the opportunity to offer that time slot to another client who may need it. If a cancellation is made with less than 48 hours' notice, the full session fee will be charged.

I recognize that unexpected situations can arise. If you contact me after the 48-hour window has closed but I'm able to accommodate a schedule change within the same week without disrupting our ongoing scheduled session times, we can reschedule at no additional charge. While my busy schedule doesn't always allow for this flexibility, I will do my best to make myself available when possible.

Your session time is valuable, both for your progress and for those who might benefit from your changed availability. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this policy.

I do not hold fixed, regularly scheduled time slots for clients. Instead, we typically plan our sessions one to two months in advance at times that work best for both of us. This approach allows for flexibility on both sides.

I generally see clients from Tuesday through Friday, sometimes shifting to Monday through Thursday to accommodate occasional schedule changes for travel, trainings, etc. My session hours begin around 10:00 AM Pacific Time, with the last session of the day starting at 1:00 PM Pacific Time.

At this time, my practice is fully virtual, I do not see clients in person. For EMDR, I utilize an online program that allows for effective eye movement and auditory bilateral stimulation.

I am not available for unscheduled communications between sessions and I am not an active crisis resource. If you feel the need for additional support, you may reach out to schedule an extra session. Upon becoming a client, I will help those who need in creating a plan for handling crisis situations, including providing additional resources, so you can feel confident in managing them with support. The best way to get a hold of me is e-mail.
