 Frequently Asked Questions

  • My fees are similar to others in CA and WA and range depending on your specific needs and situation. I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots, which I’m more than happy to discuss. Please contact me directly to learn more!

    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.

  • Yes, both! I am currently able to provide online sessions to clients within the states of California and Washington, or in-person sessions in Tacoma, WA.

  • 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 discovery call.

    If, after the discovery call 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 intake session and kick off your therapy journey!

  • 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.

  • I do have experience working with children. To best serve my clients, I’ve narrowed my focus to work with those who I tend to be the best fit for. There are some children who are a good fit for my style and skills. If you think that could be the case, please reach out via email and let’s talk!
