I currently reside in Kitsap County, WA, and have served communities in King County, Kitsap County, & Pierce County since 2012. As of 2023, my practice has been fully virtual for individual therapy, allowing me to better serve individuals across Washington State. I have an office in Gig Harbor, WA for in-person Therapy Intensives & Group Therapy Series.

I do not currently offer in-person sessions for individual therapy, but I do have an in-person option for Therapy Intensives & Group Therapy in Gig Harbor, WA.

For virtual sessions, we meet by secure video on the Zoom platform from wherever you feel most comfortable. Before each session, you'll receive a private link to join. Once we're connected, therapy unfolds much the same way it would in person- we talk, explore what's coming up, and work together at a pace that feels right for you. Many clients are surprised by how connected and effective online therapy can feel.

Yes! I ask every potential client to answer a few questions via email to ensure that your and my focus and schedule are reasonably compatible, after which we will schedule a complimentary 15 minute Zoom call so that I can answer your questions and we can get a better feel for our collective vibe and potential for building a therapeutic relationship.

If you are interested in working with me, please reach out to me via the contact button below. I will respond regarding my current availability and with a few questions to help determine whether moving forward in my process is appropriate. We then schedule a complimentary 15 minute Zoom call to address any questions you may have and to get a feel for our collective vibe. Provided we both feel comfortable moving forward, we schedule your first appointment. Subsequent appointments are booked directly with me and you can cancel either with me or through the client portal in Sessions Health, my EHR provider. All therapy sessions are virtual and take place on the Zoom platform. 

I require a minimum of 24 hours notice if you will be unable to attend your scheduled appointment. This cancelation can come in the form of text, email, or via your client portal in Sessions Health, my EHR provider. I charge a late cancel/no show fee for any session canceled with less than 24 hours notice. Fees may be waived at my discretion for emergent situations. My financial policy for Intensives is different and can be discussed during your booking process.

My fees for Individual Therapy are:

Initial Intake & Evaluation: $240

53-Min Individual Session: $190

Please note that these are the fees without any assistance from insurance.

A receipt in the form of a Super Bill may be available for those without In-Network insurance who wish to submit for reimbursement. For individuals paying out of pocket, full session fees are due at time of service and we accept credit, debit, & FSA/HSA cards as payment. Individuals utilizing their insurance benefits will be sent an e-invoice through Sessions Health, via Stripe, to pay copays/deductibles via credit, debit, or HSA card.

I also offer limited sliding scale slots through Open Path Collective.

In my practice, I primarily utilize and integrate the following therapeutic modalities:

• Traditional Talk Therapy from and Existential & Behavioral Approach

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM)

• Parts Work (IFS Informed)

• Somatic Experiencing

• Brainspotting

• Yoga Nidra

• Ayurveda

The approaches we use will be individualized and dependent on the nature of the services you are seeking.

Depending on the reasons you are seeking out services, what you can expect to get out of our time together differs. Generally, my clients are seeking clarity around a certain issue, want to break the cycle of bad habits, release the cycles of generational traumas, or need advice and counsel about a current life situation. Whatever is going on for you, hopefully we can make it easier by providing clarity, peace, confidence, or whatever you feel you need at this time.

Healing work can be a beautiful and wonderful experience, but you can also expect to experience some level of discomfort, mentally, physically, and/or energetically, as well as shifts within your relationships with yourself and others in your life as you move along this journey. This can look different for everyone as no one walks your unique journey but you.
