My practice is fully virtual. Providing Telehealth, allows me to work with individuals throughout Washington state through the use of a HIPPA-compliant Telehealth and electronic health record (EHR) platform.

I do not currently have evening or weekend availability. I currently see clients between 7 AM and 12 PM Tuesday-Wednesday.

You must cancel your appointment 48 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment. You will be charged the full amount of the session for missed appointments or failing to cancel 48 hours prior to your appointment. Late cancellations and no-shows result in the full session fee being charged.

Please note that when an appointment is scheduled, I have reserved that time for you. Clients are expected to show up at the start of the session. If you are late, I may not be able to offer you the full session. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the session will be canceled. This will be considered a no-show, and you will be charged a full fee. If you communicate that you are going to be late, the therapist will determine if the session will be conducted. If you cancel three appointments in a row, you may risk losing your spot on my caseload.

Please be aware that while I will make every effort to accommodate rescheduled sessions, I cannot guarantee similar timing or availability within the same week.

To participate in Telehealth sessions, you should have a device equipped with a front-facing camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and access to a location that ensures confidentiality and privacy.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I will not be able to see you unless you are physically in the state of Washington.

I am only licensed in the State of Washington. If you are a resident in a different state and not Washington, I will not be able to work with you.

The duration of therapy depends on your specific treatment goals. Various factors, such as evolving treatment objectives, the frequency of sessions, crisis situations, and the incorporation of new goals after achieving previous ones, can influence the length of the therapy process.

I accept payments in the form of credit/debit cards includes Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Payment is expected at the time of service, and it is your responsibility to ensure that services are fully paid at the time of service. If a balance remains outstanding for two sessions, we will temporarily pause our meetings until the balance is settled.

You can pay with HSA/FSA accounts usually offered by your employer. Ask your employer if this is available for you.

We can meet on a bi weekly or monthly basis if this is more feasible.

• Consider evaluating whether therapy aligns with your needs or if other alternatives such as coaching, support groups, courses, workshops, or retreats might be more suitable.

• Identify key criteria for your therapist selection, including considerations like their approach, style, identity, age, personality, cultural background, values, beliefs, training, fees, and insurance acceptance.

• Reflect on your financial capacity and decide whether you can afford to pay for therapy out of pocket monthly or if you prefer to utilize insurance coverage.

• Establish realistic and attainable goals and set clear expectations for your therapeutic journey.

• Maintain open communication with your therapist, sharing insights into what is helpful or unhelpful in the therapeutic process.

• Prepare for sessions by bringing in specific topics you wish to discuss or explore.

• Engage in regular practice of skills, tools, and homework outside of sessions, such as journaling, confronting fears, establishing daily practices, and challenging unhelpful thoughts.

• Exercise patience, as progress may require multiple sessions to become evident.

• Recognize that not every therapist will be a good fit, given the diversity in personalities, temperaments, styles, approaches, and cultural backgrounds among therapists. Seek someone with whom you feel comfortable expressing yourself openly.
