Do you accept insurance?
3
No, I am not in-network with any insurance companies.
Superbills are available for individuals who wish to use out-of-network (OON) benefits. If you’re unsure whether your plan includes out-of-network coverage, you can contact your insurance provider and ask whether they reimburse for psychotherapy services (billing code 90837) or psychological testing services (billing codes 96130, 96131, 96132, 96133)
Clients are encouraged to check their mental health benefits, including whether their deductible has been met. If your deductible has not yet been met, you may find that your out-of-pocket cost for therapy using insurance is similar to private-pay rates, depending on your plan.
Please Note: superbills are not available for couples therapy. Insurance companies generally do not reimburse for couples or relationship therapy unless one partner is identified as the “patient” and given a mental health diagnosis. In couples therapy, the relationship itself is the focus of treatment, not an individual partner, so this model does not align with how insurance requires services to be billed.
How do I know if we’ll be a good fit?
4
The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the process.
Ultimately, you’ll get the clearest sense of our fit after the first session. You’ll know about fit if you leave feeling understood and comfortable sharing without a filter. My style is warm and approachable while also directly challenging when needed. I help people understand what is contributing to chronic patterns by calling attention to what is observed in the here-and-now of the therapy room.
Are sessions in-person or virtual?
5
I provide therapy for individuals and couples in-person in Vancouver, Washington, or online for individuals or couples residing anywhere in Washington state.
Services cannot be provided to individuals located anywhere outside of Washington.
How long are therapy sessions?

No, your sessions will not be recorded or transcribed with AI in any way.
