FAQ’S

Yes, I offer in-person sessions on Friday’s.

On other days of the week, I offer telehealth sessions. Although I never dreamed I’d be doing therapy via telehealth before the pandemic, I have found that it is basically as effective as seeing people in person. Teleheath also has advantages such convenience, no commute time, and it offers a wider reach to people across Washington State.

It depends. Sometime, people are seeking a brief therapy for a specific problem (about 4-6 sessions). Other times, especially when problems are complex and there is a history of trauma, therapy may take longer (a year or more).

Yes. If you are experiencing financial hardship, we can talk about a fee that would be affordable.

Not anymore. I can work with older teens, but mostly I work with adults.

I will coordinate care with your primary care physician and/or psychiatrist, if you give me permission to do so.

When you make an appointment with me, you are reserving that time for yourself. If you cancel with more than 48 hours notice (M-F), that gives me time to try to fill your space, and you will not be charged. You will not be charged if you are sick or if an urgent matters arises unexpectedly. However, if you cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours notice or forget your appointment, you will be charged $185.00.

Payment for services is an important part of any professional relationship. I ask that you provide credit card information so that I can charge your co-pays or outstanding balance at each session. I accept all credit and HSA cards, but there is an additional 3% interest is charged to cover the credit card fee. You may prefer to mail a check for each therapy session to avoid credit card fees, or use Venmo in private mode for payment.
