FAQS

I am licensed in both Oregon and Washington. I do not offer in person sessions at this time.

Online therapy allows clients to attend sessions remotely using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Sessions are similar to in-person therapy in structure and process, but can be accessed from the comfort and privacy of your home or another quiet, confidential space where you feel comfortable speaking openly.

Prior to your appointment, you will receive a secure link to join your session. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Many clients find online therapy offers greater flexibility, accessibility, and convenience while still allowing for meaningful, connected, and effective therapeutic work.

I only offer telehealth sessions at this time. I love the accessibility this creates for my clients.

My fee for out of pocket/private pay sessions for a 50 minute session is $225. I offer a sliding scale fee on a limited basis.

The first therapy session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and to explore what brings you to therapy at this point in your life. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, relationships, patterns you may be noticing, and any goals or hopes you have for the therapeutic process. The intake session also allows space for you to ask questions.

The length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on many factors, including the concerns bringing someone to therapy, their goals, life circumstances, personal history, and the depth of work they hope to engage in. Some clients seek short-term support focused on a specific issue or transition, while others benefit from longer-term therapy that allows for deeper emotional healing, insight, and lasting change.

Therapy is not meant to continue indefinitely without purpose. Throughout the process, we regularly assess progress, revisit goals, and consider what feels most helpful and appropriate for your needs. In general, therapy continues for as long as it is providing meaningful support, growth, and movement toward the goals you would like to achieve.

*Important note if you are having your insurance cover your sessions: When therapy sessions are billed through insurance, treatment must meet criteria for medical necessity as defined by your insurance provider. This generally means that therapy is addressing symptoms or concerns that are significantly impacting emotional well-being, daily functioning, relationships, work, or other important areas of life.

As long as therapy remains medically necessary and clinically appropriate, sessions may continue. Throughout treatment, we regularly review progress, goals, symptom improvement, and ongoing needs to ensure that care remains supportive, effective, and aligned with both clinical and insurance requirements.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.​  Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

 You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

​Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate In writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

​If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

​Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
