Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am in network with Premera and Regence plans and utilize Headway for billing insurance. You can a schedule a consult with me and check your benefits through Headway here.

    If I am not in network with your plan: Some (but not all) insurances will reimburse you for services rendered out-of-network. In this case, I can provide a “Superbill” for the services you receive and pay out of pocket for to request reimbursement and/or application to your yearly deductible.

    If you want to seek out-of-network benefits, I recommend calling your insurance provider to verify your benefits before your intake appointment. Here are some questions to ask when calling your insurance provider:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for Outpatient Mental/Behavioral Health services?

    • Do you cover said services via Telehealth?

    • Will you reimburse me for said services if I pay out-of-pocket and submit a Superbill? How do I submit these claims for reimbursement?

    • Are said services subject to my yearly deductible?

    • Do I have co-insurance for Outpatient Mental/Behavioral Health services?

    • Do I have a maximum or yearly cap on the amount of sessions I am covered for?

    My fee for a standard 55 minute session is $140.

  • Online therapy or “Telehealth” is a way to provide mental health services via the internet. Sessions are conducted over a secure platform called Simple Practice, which is similar to Zoom.

  • No. At this time I only offer online sessions.

  • Yes! A consult is a great way get an introduction to one another, see if we may be a good fit, and to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process. Click “Request a Consultation” to schedule a free 15 minute video consult.

  • I typically work with folks navigating:

    • Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

    • Burnout and life transitions.

    • Disordered eating, body image concerns, and low self-worth.

    • Difficult interpersonal relationships and people pleasing.

  • It is important that I as a therapist provide services within “my scope of practice.” Due to this, there are some areas that I do not offer services in.

    • Family or couples therapy.

    • Therapy for minors under 18 years of age.

    • I do not write letters for Emotional Support Animals (ESA), conduct legal evaluations, or provide psychological assessments.

    • I also do not provide treatment for primary concerns such as substance abuse, psychotic disorders (ie. Schizophrenia), or Sexual Recovery Services (SRS), though there may be some secondary concerns related to these issues.

    Due to state licensure laws, I can only provide services for people physically located in the State of Washington at the time of the session.

  • The first session of therapy is referred to as the “intake.” Here we will go over basic items such as:

    • Practice policies.

    • Confidentiality and limits to confidentiality.

    • Navigating potential technical issues.

    • Any questions you have about the intake packet and process.

    Some main areas of focus in this session are:

    • Getting to know one another.

    • Learning about what has brought you into therapy and the history of these concerns.

    • Assessing for any presenting diagnoses.

    • Assessing for any safety concerns and establishing safety measures if necessary.

    It is incredibly important that you feel comfortable and heard by your therapist. This first session is an opportunity to see if you and I are well suited to continue in our therapeutic relationship.
