Frequently Asked Questions
-
My fee for a 50 minute session ranges from $175 to $210. I do reserve a limited number of spots for sliding scale fees, based on need and insurance reimbursement. Please contact me directly to check for current sliding scale openings.
I am not in-network with any insurance provider, but I provide optional monthly Superbills for you to submit for reimbursement, if your insurance provider provides out-of-network coverage.

I am currently able to provide online sessions to clients within the states of California and Washington. I hope to offer in-person sessions in the Tacoma, WA area in the medium-term future.

When I am contacted by a new client, I first like to learn about what their needs are, and help them assess whether beginning sessions with me is the appropriate next step. Usually the most efficient way to do this is through a free 20 minute video or phone consultation.
If, after a consultation we mutually agree that therapy is the next step and we are a good fit, I will send intake forms through a secure online platform. We then schedule our first session.
-
During a consultation, we take around 20 minutes to talk live and focus on learning about each other. The goal is to mutually assess whether I’m the right fit for you.
I usually ask you to share what you’d like support with, and may ask questions about topics like: your previous experiences in therapy; your current level of support; and your hopes and expectations.
I share about my approach, invite you to ask me any questions you have, and we discuss important details like fees and schedules.
