You’ve got questions?

Telehealth involves the use of secure, encrypted electronic communications to connect via video software and sessions are conducted essentially the same as in-person sessions. You have the option to use Telehealth when it is more convenient (travel, childcare issues, illness, etc) or as your primary meeting type.

Yes, in fact, I’ve designed a unique office space (Healing Studio by the Ranch) that is conducive to in-person sessions, including Walk, Wheel, & Talk sessions.

• $200 for a 55 minute intake and/or psychotherapy session

• I offer limited sliding scale sessions, $40-$70 for a 55 minute intake and/or psychotherapy session, exclusively through the OpenPath Network

• EMDR Therapy Intensives have their own fee structure

I accept all major debit, credit, and HSA/FSA cards. I also accept cash for established clients who are seen in-person. Payment is due at the time of service. Prior to your first session, I will have you upload your payment information into the secure client portal.

I am currently in network with PacificSource Health Plans, PacificSource OHP/Medicaid, Providence, and Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield.

EMDR Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance.

No. I have received training and supervision specific to working with individuals. I encourage family and peer support to aid in change throughout treatment, and those support persons are welcome to engage in pre-planned/scheduled sessions, as deemed appropriate.

In order to begin treatment, assessment will be done in the first session/couple of sessions to identify what your concerns and goals for treatment are. If you are utilizing insurance, a diagnosis is required for payment. Common diagnoses include those for adjustment, anxiety, depression, panic, and PTSD. I will review any possible diagnoses with you, as a part of treatment.

After deciding to begin our work together, I will email you a request to fill out some documents through the secure client portal. We will go over these documents, discuss your history, explore what has brought you to therapy, and discuss your goals during our first intake session.

I encourage clients to meet weekly in the beginning of therapy until our relationship has been established. Clients are often able to move to every other week, or monthly sessions once they have achieved most of their goals or are looking to maintain their level of success.

Therapy is a very individual process that we must approach at your own pace. Progress involves work by you both in and outside of the therapy session. The change process requires a commitment of time, attendance of sessions, and the completion of tasks to move forward.

Secure Messaging through the SimplePractice client app is the preferred method of communication. You are able to email me as well as leave a voice message, however, Secure Messaging is the best choice from a security standpoint. Messages are checked periodically throughout the day, and will be returned when time permits, but typically within 24 hours or the next business day.

I do NOT provide immediate crisis intervention.

If you are or believe you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, including suicidal or homicidal thinking, or any other urgent or time-sensitive matter, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You may also call or text 9-8-8 to reach the National Suicide & Crisis Hotline or contact the following local crisis services:

CAHOOTS Mobile Crisis Unit
Eugene: (541) 682-5111
Springfield: (541) 726-3714

Hourglass 24/7 Walk In Services

White Bird Crisis Services
24 Hour Crisis Phone Line: (541) 687-4000

A 24 hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule a session in order to avoid a $125 fee (does not apply to clients using Medicaid). EMDR Therapy Intensives require a 1 week notice.

The information disclosed to your therapist in session is privileged communication and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the client. The exceptions to this general rule of legal confidentiality are: child abuse/neglect; vulnerable adult abuse; threatened harm to self or others; court ordered/legally subpoenaed.

Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the "No Surprises Act" which requires practitioners to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" about out-of-network care. Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in an insurance plan or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan, that upon request they are entitled to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected charges. Note: The PHSA and GFE does not currently apply to clients who are using insurance benefits, including "out of network benefits'' (i.e., submitting superbills to insurance for reimbursement).​

Please fill out the contact form to schedule a free 15 minute online consultation. During the consultation, I would love to learn a bit more about you and what you’d like to address in therapy. I’ll answer any questions you might have and we’ll determine if we are a good therapeutic fit.

If I’m the right therapist for you, we will discuss availability and schedule your first session. If I’m not the right therapist for you, I can provide you with referrals to other therapists who may be a better fit.
