Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to common questions about what it’s like to work with me.
I've partnered with an insurance reimbursement service (Thrizer), that streamline getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
These services are perfect if you:
Have out-of-network benefits
Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
What this means is that you are responsible for payment up front, and if you have out-of-network benefits, I can help you submit session costs to your insurance company so that you can get reimbursed from your OON benefits.

What are your fees?
My fees reflect my commitment to specialized training (IFS, IPF, & EFT/Tapping) and providing premium, dedicated care outside the limitations of managed insurance.
Individual or Family Therapy (50-minutes): $375
Initial Intake Session (80-minutes): $500
Intensive Therapy Sessions (Extended Sessions): Rates are listed on the dedicated Intensive Service Page.
Do you offer free consultations?
I charge a $25 fee to schedule a 20-minute consultation to get started with therapy. The charge exists to protect our schedules and prevent no-shows for the cancellations. The fee is applied towards the cost of your first therapy session if you do move forward.

I am physically based in the Portland area; however, I am able to offer services to anyone residing in the state of Washington, Oregon, or Massachusetts via telehealth.
In-person sessions in Portland, OR, are reserved for intensives or extended therapy sessions—all other appointments are held virtually.
-
I use a HIPAA-compliant (aka secure) video platform with end-to-end encryption. You’ll download the Carepatron app on your electronic device or desktop and receive a Carepatron link for every appointment.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
Those looking for longer therapy sessions for faster healing and movement in their therapy goals, therapy intensives can be scheduled for 90 minutes to 3 hours at a time.
-
For the initial consultation, I’ll invite you to share your concerns, what your goals are for therapy, and any questions you have for me.
For the intake appointment, I’ll spend an hour to 90 minutes reviewing informed consent documents and the intake forms you completed to better understand your needs and goals.
-
It really depends on what your needs and goals are. I’ve worked with a number of clients for a short period of time (6-8 sessions) or longer (20+ sessions). Within the intensive therapy format (3-4 hour sessions), I’ve seen people make significant progress within one or two sessions.
