All services are fully private pay and I do not accept insuruance.

However, I can provide you with a super-bill as an out-of-network provider. Depending on your insurance company, they may provide you with reimbursement for services. Please reach out to your specific company directly to determine “out of network benefits.”

Please click the ‘Rates’ tab for more information on my rate structure.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out ◡̈

Payment is due at the time of your session and is processed securely through SimplePractice, your client portal. I accept credit or debit cards, as well as HSA and FSA cards.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for qualifying clients. Please contact me for more information about availability so we can discuss this during your consult call.

Please note: my sliding scale spots are currently full. However, if you are interested, you can be added to my waitlist.

Yes to both! I offer virtual and in-person therapy to folks located in Washington state during the week, daytime, and evening

• Virtual sessions are held via Simple Practice, which is a HIPAA-compliant Telehealth platform.

• In-Person sessions are available in Tacoma, WA (see location details below)

My office is located in downtown Tacoma on the second-floor mezzanine of the Old City Hall Building off of Commerce Street.

The office is reached by a short flight of stairs, which means it isn’t fully ADA accessible. If stairs are a barrier, please let me know, and we can talk through other options together so that care is accessible in a way that feels supportive to you.

• Parking: Street parking is available on Commerce Street, Pacific Avenue, and near Fireman’s Park. You can also park a block up on Broadway by McMenamins and take the Spanish Steps down. Parking can be paid through the Flowbird app or at a pay station (2-hour max).

• Transit: The Tacoma Link light rail stops right at the building entrance (Commerce St Stop). Folks can park at the Tacoma Dome (free parking) and ride the link for $2.00, or jump on at any Tacoma Dome to Hill Top stops.

• Waiting area: A small waiting space is available just outside my office.

• Restrooms: Restrooms are located on both the second and third floors.

Feel free to get in contact via my contact page, or go ahead and schedule your free 20-minute virtual consultation to begin the process!

I always like to chat with folks before scheduling them for a first session, simply to ensure that we are a good fit (both scheduling wise and in my own clinical skills). To the same effect, YOU deserve to feel confident in choosing your therapist!

Consultation calls are 20 minutes long, free of charge, and there’s no obligation to continue afterward.

I require 24 hours notice for session cancellations.

If I receive less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged half your service rate.

No Calls/No Shows will be charged the full session fee.

Clients who arrive more than 15 minutes late are considered a no-show and will be charged accordingly.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

​Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

You are welcome to send me emails 24-hours a day. I will typically respond within 1-2 business days.

Please note: I am out of office non-business days, which are Saturday and Sunday.

I am unable to provide medication prescriptions, court-mandated therapy, ADHD/Autism assessments, and letters for ESA.

Sessions with me usually include a brief grounding exercise or check-in about what might be helpful for us to explore for that session. Unless there’s something we’ve been working on previously. From there, we will dive in.

Throughout our sessions, you can expect moments where we pause to check in with our bodies to assess if we are within the Window of Tolerance (WOT) or if we need to make adjustments to feel more comfortable.

Near the end of the session, we may close with a grounding exercise or check-in with any lingering thoughts before ending.

Throughout session I welcome you to make yourself comfortable in the ways you need. Grab a fidget toy, sip some tea, or take your shoes off and get cozy. This space, whether virtual or in-person, is one where you can come as you are. If there is something you feel like might make sessions more comfortable, please let me know ◡̈
