I accept PacificSource Heath Plans.

I am out-of-network with all other insurance providers. I can provide “superbills,” or session receipts for you to submit for out-of-ntework reimbursement.

I take the work seriously, but I try not to take myself too seriously. Therapy doesn't have to be somber or stiff, and I don't think it should be. I’m also not afraid to be direct, to name what I'm noticing, or to sit with you in the hard stuff without looking away.

And I will challenge you. I won't simply reflect back what you bring or tell you what you want to hear.

What you can count on is that I will be honest with you, curious about you, and genuinely invested in your growth.

I'll also make mistakes, and I'll want to know when something isn't working. That kind of openness is what makes the relationship real — and the work possible.

Before we meet, I'll ask you to complete an intake form to help shape our initial sessions.

During our first session, I'll ask about what's bringing you in and your goals for therapy. You'll have the chance to ask about me and my approach. From there, we'll mutually decide if we're a good fit.

If we choose to work together, we’ll spend our next few sessions learning more about you. I'll want to understand what you've tried before and what you're hoping for. I’ll also as questions about your history and and what your life looks like beyond the struggles that brought you here.

Early on, we'll talk about goals — not in a checkbox kind of way, but in a values-driven way. What would it mean for your life to feel more meaningful? What would be different? These questions become the compass for our work together.

Before we meet, I'll ask both of you to complete an intake form to help shape our path forward — whether that's couples therapy, discernment counseling, or a referral elsewhere.

I'll also ask about factors that make couples therapy unsuitable and warrant referrals to other resources, including patterns of coercive control or abuse, ongoing affairs, or active substance use.

If we move forward with couples therapy, our first session will be together, sessions two and three will be individual meetings with each of you, and session four will bring us back together for a shared summary of where you are, what's keeping you stuck, and where we go from here.

Throughout, I won't take sides. My allegiance is to the relationship and to helping both of you feel heard, understood, and capable of something different.

This is an important question.

Couples therapy works best when both partners are committed to working on the relationship. If you're both in that place, couples therapy is likely the right fit.

Discernment counseling is designed for couples where one or both partners are ambivalent about staying together and working on the relationship. It creates the space to slow down, get clear, and decide on a path forward before committing to the deeper work of therapy.

A simple way to think about it: couples therapy is about change. Discernment counseling is about clarity.

If you're not sure which fits your situation, that's okay — that's exactly what our consultation and intake session is for. We'll talk through where you each are and figure out together what makes the most sense.

The length of therapy is shaped by what brings you in, what you're hoping for, and how the work unfolds.

Some people come with a specific concern and find that a focused course of therapy is enough. Others are working on deeper, longer-standing patterns that take more time to shift. Both are completely valid.

For couples, discernment counseling is intentionally brief, typically one to five sessions. Couples therapy generally runs longer, depending on the complexity of what you're navigating.

What I try to avoid is open-ended therapy without a sense of direction.

We'll revisit your goals periodically and check in on how things are going — including whether the frequency and duration of our work still makes sense. Your time and investment matter, and I want the work to be worth it.
