Private pay and out of pocket sessions are $175 an hour.

Most clients use insurance benefits or receive reimbursement by providing an itemized receipt called a Super bill.

I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Premera, and Regence. If you are unsure you can call your network and ask if I am a covered provider.

It is always a good idea to check your benefits before we get started. You will want to find out if you have a deductible, how much you have met, what your copayment may be, and if there are any limitations to your benefits. Benefits are never guaranteed until after claims are processed and returned.

Yes! I have an office for in-person sessions, as well as virtual sessions if that is more accessible to your lifestyle.

My office is above the Post Office in Port Townsend. There is a flight of stairs and no elevator, it is a charming historical building! I also see clients virtually throughout the state.

Yes, I provide virtual sessions to clients all throughout Washington State.

Sessions are supposed to be 55 minutes, although we often use the whole hour.

My focus when I started my career was on teens, and I have experience working with school-aged children throughout the spectrum. When I started my private practice I ended up mostly serving young adults and women. I like to be open to whatever clients feel drawn to work with me. However, I do find I am most effective with motivated and engaged clients, and that is not always how teens feel if they are being put in therapy rather than choosing it themselves.

I provide individual therapy to adults. I have basic training in CBT that we will use to determine appropriate coping skills and homework tasks.

I also use solution focused brief therapy techniques to build on strengths that are already working for you and to help you identify your true desires.

The majority of my work is informed by internal family systems. I use IFS to treat trauma by building comfort with our feelings and emotions, and heal the hurting parts of us from the past.
