Frequently Asked Questions

My office is located in downtown Seattle, near Pioneer Square. I have a limited number of in-person openings. I also see clients virtually throughout Washington, California and Oregon.

Online counseling sessions are held through a secure HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Sessions can be accessed via computer, phone, or tablet. Once we agree to begin working together, clients receive a link to register for the online platform and can use this platform to make appointment requests, obtain session invoices, share confidential information and message as well as receive appointment reminders.

Note: Clients must be physically located in one of the states where I am licensed at the time of each session. This is a legal requirement for all licensed therapists.

Yes, I have a limited number of in-person openings at my office in downtown Seattle, near Pioneer Square. Please inquire about this if it’s of interest to you.

My fee is $220 for individual 50-60 minute session and $250 for an initial 80-minute intake session.

I ask clients to set aside 1.5 hours for our initial session as we will more thoroughly review the issues bringing you to therapy any relevant health/mental health history as well as focus on the development of the goals you hope to achieve in therapy. I ask all new clients to complete approximately 20 minutes of paperwork in advance of this session to support these goals.

Therapy does’t have to be never ending journey. We are all growing and evolving and may find the more intensive, self-reflective process of therapy more valuable at some stages in our lives more than others. I do ask all new clients to commit to weekly sessions for the first several months of working together as developing a solid foundation of safety and security is important to your work. Based on your goals and progress, we may agree to meet less frequently. I see many clients twice per month and do see long-term clients monthly or with less frequency.

I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance at this time. I am able to provide a receipt, sometimes known as a “superbill” for your insurance for you to receive reimbursement directly if you have an out-of-network insurance benefit.

You can check whether your insurance plan has out of network benefits by asking the following questions:

Does my health plan include Out of Network benefits for Mental Health Therapy?

What is my deductible and has it been met?

How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

Yes. Many clients who have Health Saving Accounts (HSA) are able to pay directly with their benefit card for full reimbursement. Flex Saving Accounts (FSA) often require you to submit a detailed invoice (aka super bill) and offer cover full session costs.
