Psychotherapy
Come as you are. There's room for all of you here.

The Practical Stuff
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! I currently accept UnitedHealthcare (UHC), Regence (BCBS), and Moda for individual therapy, depending on your plan and location. I also accept HSA/FSA payments and can provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
​
What are your rates? Do you offer sliding-scale fees?
Individual therapy is $185 for 53 minutes, and couples/relationship therapy is $230 for 80 minutes (private pay only). I also reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for folks facing financial barriers. My approach is rooted in equity, trust, and community care. Reach out to explore what's available.
​
What's a superbill, and what is a Good Faith Estimate?
A superbill is a receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. You'll pay the full fee upfront, and reimbursement depends on your plan. A Good Faith Estimate outlines expected therapy costs for clients who aren't using insurance. You're entitled to request one at any time. If you're billed at least $400 more than your estimate, you may have the right to dispute it.
Where do you see clients?
I'm licensed to provide psychotherapy in Oregon and Washington, primarily through secure video sessions. I also offer seasonal walk-and-talk therapy in the Hood River area. I don't currently have an office for in-person sessions.
​
What's walk-and-talk therapy?
Therapy with a little fresh air! We meet outdoors around Hood River, moving at a comfortable pace while weaving together conversation, mindfulness, and connection with the natural world. Sessions are seasonal and weather permitting.
​
When are you available?
I generally see clients Tuesdays through Thursdays, from morning to early evening. Availability varies, so feel free to reach out if you need something outside those hours.
​
What's your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and missed sessions may incur a fee.
Getting Started
Can you share more about you and your approach?
I'm glad you asked! I believe finding the right therapist is as much about connection as it is about credentials. My About page shares a little about my winding journey, the experiences that shape my work, and what you can expect when we sit down together. There's even a little about life beyond the therapy room.
​
How do I get started?
Just reach out and tell me a little about yourself, what brings you here, and whether you're hoping to use insurance or pay privately. We'll schedule a free 20-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. If we decide to work together, I'll send over the paperwork and we'll take it from there!
​
What if I've never been to therapy before?
You're welcome here, whether it's your first time or your fiftieth. There's no need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. We'll figure it out together, at a pace that feels right for you.
Some Other Things Worth Knowing
What's the difference between psychotherapy and soulwork coaching?
Psychotherapy is clinical mental health care. We work with emotional challenges, trauma, relationship patterns, and other concerns through a therapeutic relationship. Soulwork coaching is a nonclinical offering focused on life's transitions, creating meaningful rituals and ceremonies, and integrating experiences like wilderness rites of passage into everyday life. While psychotherapy is limited to clients in Oregon and Washington, soulwork coaching is available internationally, where permitted by local laws. Coaching isn't a substitute for mental health treatment.
​
Do you offer group therapy or retreats?
Sometime's I offer group therapy and list the programs on my website. My current retreats, wilderness rites of passage, and community gatherings are not group therapy. They're experiential, nonclinical offerings centered on ritual, connection, personal exploration, and belonging. You can explore upcoming experiences on my Rites & Gatherings page.​

I'm not available for emergency or crisis support. If you're in immediate danger, call 911. For 24/7 mental health crisis support in the U.S., call or text 988. Here are some local crisis lines:
