Information about my practice:

I offer  15-minute consultations for you to ask me questions about my style, approach, and practice. Consultations are not a therapy session.  Please note that you will need to fill out initial documents prior to the consultation beginning or the consultation may be cancelled.

In a typical session, you can expect a compassionate, trauma-informed and goal oriented space where we explore your challenges, and work toward healing at your own pace. Using a blend of  therapeutic tools, I’ll support you in gaining insight, building resilience, and empowering you to create lasting change in your life.

In  family therapy sessions, you can expect a supportive, collaborative environment where we address the unique dynamics and challenges within your family system.  We’ll work together to strengthen communication, build healthier boundaries, and create lasting solutions that support each family member’s emotional well-being and growth.

Everyone is different and coming to therapy with different needs. Some people find that every couple of weeks works well and others find  weekly better. Together, we will determine the right cadence.  Sometimes, people find they are going through a challenging time and need more support and other times, life is improving and/or busy and further spaced out sessions make sense.

I see clients virtually as well as in-person. My in-person practice is located in NE Portland. There is plenty of free parking, all gender bathrooms and is in a suite with several others providers. Please see below for virtual session information.

I have had a long career of working with people across the lifespan.  Currently, I have concentrated my practice on working with clients who are 10 years old and older.  Special considerations will be made for working with younger children on a case-by-case basis.

In some cases, you may need a different provider with a  specific specialty. I will be collaborate with you to identify the right expertise and provide resources for finding a new provider.

What if I am not a good fit for you? That's OK! It happens. We will work together to ensure you have resources to find a different provider. This is your journey and it's critical  you feel comfortable with whomever you are working  with in therapy.

Per tele-health laws for LCSWs, when you attend a virtual visit you must be in the state where your provider is licensed during the virtual session. For my practice, that means, you must be physically present in Oregon or Washington when the virtual appointment happens. 

My rate is 160.00 per 50 minute session and 80.00 per 30 minute session.  I also offer a sliding scale as needed. There is no fee for cancelling an appointment. A flat fee of 50.00 will be charged for no shows.
