Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions people ask most.
Do you take insurance?
No, I am an out-of-network provider. I can provide monthly superbills (upon request) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement if your plan has out-of-network benefits. The details are on the Pricing & Policies page.
Where are you located? Do we meet in person or online?
Both. Monday through Thursday, I meet clients by telehealth anywhere in Washington State. On Fridays, I see clients in person at my Seattle office, 4026 NE 55th Street, Suite E. See the office, parking, and what to expect when you arrive.
How long is a session, and how often do we meet?
Individual sessions are 50 minutes; couples' sessions are 75 minutes; discernment counseling is 120 minutes for the first session, and 75 minutes for the remaining (2-4) sessions. I prefer to start at a weekly cadence both to build rapport and to maximize the therapeutic benefit of sessions. That said, we can also adjust as we go - the rhythm should fit your life.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you are carrying and where you want to go. Some people come for a season; others stay longer. We will check in regularly, so therapy keeps serving you - not the other way around.
What happens in a free consultation?
A relaxed 20-minute video call. You share a little about what is going on, ask me anything, and we decide together whether we are a good fit. No pressure, no obligation.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes, with narrow legal exceptions: risk of serious harm to yourself or others, abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, or a court order. We will go over these clearly before we begin.
