I do not currently accept insurance. Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent medical record, and may also limit the number or type of sessions allowed.

Many clients choose private pay therapy for greater flexibility, increased privacy, and more choice in the kind of therapy that fits them best.

I can provide a paid invoice (superbill) for you to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

I accept debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) as well as FSA (flexible spending account) and HSA (health savings account) cards.

No. My practice is fully online. This allows me to serve clients across the entire state of Washington while offering greater flexibility and accessibility for those with limited time, transportation, or local provider options.

Yes. Washington licensing laws require that you are physically located in the state during each therapy session. If you travel frequently, we can still meet online as long as you are within Washington borders at the time of your appointment.

Before we begin, take a moment to reflect on what you hope to gain from therapy. If you’ve been in therapy before, it can help to share what has or hasn’t worked in the past, as well as any current medications or substance use.

There’s no need to be the “perfect client” or hide behind a polished version of yourself. My office is a space to be real — to say what you think, feel what you feel, and explore new ways of being without judgment.

Bring your memories, your dreams, your hopes, your fears — all of it is welcome here.

Growth in therapy is often subtle — like watching your hair grow. You may not see it day to day, but over time you may notice:

• shifts in how you respond to situations and people

• differences in the quality of your relationships

• improvements in your ability to experience and regulate your emotions

• improvements in your level of self-awareness

• new personal insights

• and new perspectives

Talking to AI can be helpful—much like journaling—to sort your thoughts or track moods and habits. But both have the same limitation: they echo your own perspective.

Therapy with a human offers something AI can’t: empathy, connection, and attunement. It’s a relational experience where you’re truly seen and heard, where subtle cues such as body language, silence, and intuition, create the possibility for real change.

Talking to your friends about your problems can be great for some people, but therapists know what to do with the content you’re giving them. Through their professional training, therapists can help you understand patterns and process emotions. They know ways to help you heal and move forward that aren’t always available from your friends.

Technology can be unpredictable. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop a backup means of communicating in the event of an emergency. We will first attempt basic troubleshooting. If the issue persists, we will continue the session via phone. If a phone connection is not available, you will be encouraged to reschedule your appointment, and you will only be billed for the time we spent on your appointment.

If you are in crisis, you will be encouraged to contact emergency services or proceed to the nearest hospital for assistance.
