  • If you are a current client, we will schedule your next appointment either at the end of your session or establish an ongoing appointment time.

    You can also request an appointment through my client portal, and click “I’m a new client” or click here if you’re an existing client to schedule an appointment with me.

  • I’m located and licensed in Oregon, offering telehealth services to Oregon residents. I live and am from the Portland Metro area.

  • I offer therapy through secure, confidential telehealth sessions using SimplePractice’s HIPAA-compliant video platform. You can join sessions from your phone, tablet, or computer—no downloads needed. Telehealth works much like in-person therapy: we meet face-to-face on video, focus on what you’re navigating, and build a consistent therapeutic space together. Many clients appreciate the comfort, accessibility, and flexibility of meeting from home or another private place that feels safe for them.

  • Not at the moment, but I’ll update this here if that changes in the future!

  • My current rate is $175 per session. I’m in the process of becoming independently credentialed with insurance providers, so check back soon or send me an email if you’d like an update on this.

  • Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you have about working together. I’ll ask about your history at a pace that feels comfortable, and we’ll begin shaping a plan that supports your goals. There’s no rush to share everything right away; we can go over it more during a consultation.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline for therapy. Some people come in for short-term support around a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term work that unfolds more slowly and deeply. Some folks are in therapy for a while, others take breaks, some try different modalities or therapists, it truly depends on what you are needing. You’re never locked into a certain number of sessions. We’ll check in periodically about how things are feeling throughout treatment, and discuss what may fit your situation best.

  • A Good Faith Estimate is a document that outlines the expected costs of your therapy services for the year. It’s part of the No Surprises Act and is designed to help you understand what you might spend on care. You’ll receive this estimate before starting therapy, and you can ask questions or request an updated version anytime.
