Are you accepting new clients?
Yes, though I have limited availab
Please schedule a free 20 minute initial consultation so we can meet to see if we would like to work together or if I can pass along referrals to other fab clinicians. Either way it is a win/win.
Chemistry, safety, and comfort are ingredients to making the kinds of relationships I am most interested in, and this extends to my therapeutic relationships. We can chat about what is motivating you to seek therapy at this time, I can hear about your prior counseling experiences and what has worked (or not!), and answer any questions you may have.
If we decide we would like to do the work together, I will send along my practice documents for your review and signatures for informed consent and we will pick a time that works to meet regularly.
Are you offering Telehealth (video) visits?
At this time, I am working via Telehealth or in-person. You will have access to my secure client portal where our visits will take place. It has been wonderful to work with my clients from the comfort of their homes and to see all the life that occurs.
I’ve enjoyed welcoming folx back to my cozy office in the historic Ford Building in SE Portland and am seeing clients without masks. If you are unwell, please re-schedule or request appointment shift to Telehealth..
If you’d rather continue via Telehealth as you are out of the Portland area, traveling, or a Washington resident, I am happy to continue our work in the way it works best for you.
Insurance
I do not participate with any insurance panels and am considered an out-of-network provider.
Insurance companies dictate clinical decisions such as length of treatment, frequency or length of sessions and require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement.
As a sex and relationship therapist, I am not often primarily treating mental health concerns and do not have a diagnosis for our treatment.
By bypassing insurance, I can provide the most flexibility and privacy for you! You are welcome to submit on your own behalf for reimbursement for a portion of counseling fees. Please let me know if that is your intention.
What does my Investment look like?
Therapy is a financial commitment and investment in yourself and your relationships. By the time you have reached out, you’ve have likely been thinking about taking these next steps for some time. I’m so excited that you are reaching out to get down to the business of you.
Therapy is an opportunity for growth and healing that can change your life and provide healing.
We decide length of treatment, and often the investment of your work provides long term gains.
Out of Pocket Investment:
Standard (50 minute) individual session: $250
Standard (50 minute) couple/relationship session: $250
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid incurring a full session fee ($250). Please cancel Monday appointments by the previous Friday. If I am able to reschedule appointment within the same week (M-F), the cancellation fee will be waived.
Please know that the cancellation policy is enforced without exception. That way it is fair for everyone, and it is not at all personal when the fee is charged.
