FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • At this time, I do not accept insurance and operate as a private pay practice.

    I understand that cost can be an important consideration, so I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients experiencing financial need. If you are interested in exploring this option, please feel free to contact me to discuss availability.

  • My fee is $150 per 50 minute session.

  • Yes, I offer a 15 - 20 minute phone or video consultation for prospective clients. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether my approach feels like a good fit for your needs. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have before getting started.

    Consultation calls are completely free of charge.

  • Yes, I offer both virtual and in person therapy sessions depending on your needs and comfort level. Our office is conveniently located in West Seattle, and is wheelchair accessible with ample free street parking nearby.

  • The length of therapy can vary depending on your unique needs, goals, and what brings you to treatment. Some clients come to therapy for short term support around a specific challenge, while others choose to engage in long term work for deeper growth and healing. Together, we will regularly check in about your progress and collaborate on a timeline that feels supportive and meaningful for you.

  • Relationship therapy brings two or more people into the room together to focus on the relationship itself, rather than just one individual’s experience. Relationship therapy looks at the patterns, cycles, and dynamics that form between people—how they communicate, misunderstand, connect, and repair.

    While it’s often associated with romantic partners, relationship therapy is much broader and can include friendships, siblings, co-parents, or even business partners.

  • Many of us have had very little opportunity to speak openly and without judgment about the sexual parts of ourselves, so it makes sense that it can feel vulnerable at first.

    However, sexuality is often an under-attended aspect of the human experience, and it profoundly shapes how we relate to ourselves and to others. Even when it isn’t directly named or explored, it can quietly influence many areas of our lives and relationships.

    Therapy can be a safe, non-pathologizing space to give these experiences the attention, language, and care they deserve, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

  • Yes. I have created a size inclusive space both in my approach to care and in the physical office environment. My office includes a variety of seating options, including chairs without arms, stools, and sofas designed to comfortably accommodate a range of body sizes. You’ll also find fat positive and body liberation oriented books in the waiting room library.

    This is a space where bodies are met with dignity, care, and freedom stigma.
