All sessions are conducted over teletherapy (video or phone).

This allows for more flexibility in your schedule and location, so there’s no need to come into an office (sessions can be held anywhere between the states of Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii).

In recent years, therapy has become even more normalized for people to explore. Not only when there are moments of crisis, but also when there are questions on identity, self-growth, or even the desire to establish effective communication.

Yes, people can go into therapy when there are high levels of anxiety or depression symptoms. Still, people can also explore therapy options when starting a new relationship, changing careers, or simply out of curiosity about how to better build friendships and relationships around them.

Finding a good fit between therapist and client is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of the therapy process. If you’d like a space dedicated to you to explore life without judgment, as well as not needing to hold space for others during the time, therapy may be a space for you.

For the most part, the first session will be an “intake session” where we review your intake form and explore your goals, present factors, and history to establish the foundation for our work together.

After discussing potential goals and ways you’d like support in the therapy space, with additional time, we will dive into what brings you into therapy.

Clients come to me with experiences in trauma, grief, marital communication, general anxiety, and cultural and self-identity issues/exploration.

Areas of focus: Anxiety, Depression, Cultural Identity, Couples’ Communication (Relationship & Sex), Grief & Life transitions.

Effects of therapy vary person to person. Depending on goals and expectations, there may be a wide range of the efficacy of therapy. I will be sure to check-in with you during our sessions to see if you feel like you are finding what you are looking for, as well as empowering you to voice any concerns or change of direction during the sessions together. I always appreciate feedback and would like to have open dialogue with you!

I am currently using a HIPAA compliant encrypted software called “SimplePractice” for online therapy. Though I do take progress notes, the notes are mainly reserved for yourself and will not be shared with anyone unless required by law. With anything online, there may be understandable concerns of confidentiality being breached if you are having your session in a public space, or a space where family or friends can hear. I encourage clients to find private spaces with secure internet access for video sessions.

As a mandated reporter for the state of Oregon, Washington, & Hawaii I am required to report suspected abuse or neglect to vulnerable populations, or if there are plans of harm to yourself or others. These are the exceptions to confidentiality, and I am more than happy to discuss with you first.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Oregon and Hawaii, and a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington.

I am only able to see clients who are physically within either state due to licensure laws.

My practice uses “SimplePractice,” which allows you to schedule your sessions 48 hours in advance.

My cancellation policy requires 24 hours' notice. If you cancel past this time or do not attend the session, you will incur a late-cancellation charge after 2+ times.

Understanding events may arise unexpectedly, so please contact me as soon as possible, and we can discuss further.

Individual Standard Sessions (50mins for $110)
Couple’s Standard Sessions (60mins for $150 or 90mins for $190)

I do not accept insurance; however, I am currently able to accept card payments with all major credit, debit, and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards through SimplePractice/Stripe. I also offer Superbills for accepted insurance providers.
