Welcome

"You have the courage to take steps toward healing. It is an honor to partner with you in this adventure."

Beginning the therapy process can feel overwhelming — and I want to acknowledge how brave you are for being here. Inviting someone into your innermost world is an act of real courage, and it also means you're ready to heal.

If you're experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, grief, or depression, I can equip you with therapeutic tools and experiences that will help you move through deep healing while improving your day-to-day quality of life.

Together we can explore what needs attention, nurturing, and change. You can speak freely to me, and I'll listen without judgment. I'll give you the support you need — and occasionally challenge you to dig deeper when you're ready. It will be worth it when you start to feel better about your life.

My Approach

Healing that goes
beneath the surface

I use body-based, bottom-up approaches that work with your nervous system — not just your thinking mind. These methods are evidence-based, gentle, and highly effective.

01

Brainspotting

Uses specific eye positions to identify and process emotional pain and trauma stored neurologically. Developed by Dr. David Grand — where you look affects how you feel.

02

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Helps you understand the different "parts" of yourself — protectors, wounded parts, your core Self — and restores harmony. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz.

03

Mindfulness & Somatic

Builds your ability to observe your inner world without being swept away. Woven throughout our work to support grounding, regulation, and lasting awareness.

Free Consultation

Why do I offer a
free consultation?

I offer the free 15–20 minute phone consultation because my primary goal is to help you — and I won't know if I can do my best until we've had a chance to connect.

This is not a commitment. Think of it as an informal conversation to get to know one another. It's a helpful way to make sure we'd work well together toward your healing.

"I am in this work because I love seeing the positive changes people can make in their lives. I will only accept your money if I feel that I can truly help you."

What happens in the consult?

1

You share your main challenges. What's bringing you to therapy right now?

2

We see if we're a good fit. No pressure. Therapy works best when the connection is right.

3

If we click, we make a plan. We'll discuss a path forward tailored to your goals.

4

If I'm not the right fit, I'll connect you with someone who would be a better resource.

"My goal is to work myself out of a job with you — as efficiently as possible."

Common Questions

Answers to what
you're wondering about

Individual sessions: $150 for a 50–55 minute session. Couples: $250 per session. 2-hour sessions: $225. Email/text therapy: $75/week via Signal. I also offer a sliding scale for financial hardship. I accept credit, debit, and health/flexible spending cards. I accept Aetna in Washington State.
I accept Aetna in Washington State for individuals. For other insurance, I provide a monthly Superbill you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Note that submitting to insurance requires a DSM-V diagnosis. You can also use getbetter.co to handle the reimbursement process (they take 10% of whatever you recover).
Online therapy is just like in-person therapy, except we meet over secure, HIPAA-compliant video — similar to FaceTime or Zoom. You can join from your computer, phone, or tablet, from anywhere you can find privacy. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-office sessions.
You must reside in Washington or Montana to receive counseling services from me.
For individuals, my approach is eclectic — drawing from Brainspotting, IFS/parts work, mindfulness, somatic approaches, and more. We'll focus on solutions and changing unhelpful patterns. For couples, I primarily use Internal Family Systems and Relational Life Therapy.
Your circumstances are unique, and the timeline will vary. What I can say is that we'll work to make progress in every session. The most important factor is your commitment and desire to change. My goal is to work myself out of a job with you — as efficiently as possible.
I use HIPAA-compliant software with end-to-end encryption. I take the same precautions as any in-office counselor and follow all local and federal privacy laws.
We'll discuss your main challenges and your background. Who are you and how did you get here? Then we'll map out a plan to get you where you want to be. I'll also answer any questions you have. I'm typically reachable by phone or email within a few hours.
Not at all — asking for help when you need it is courageous. Give yourself credit for just looking into therapy. Even the strongest people need support sometimes. The fact that you're here is already a huge step.
