FAQ

GETTING STARTED

  • No. Sometimes people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to talk about. Other times, something just isn’t working and they’re not entirely sure why. You don’t need to figure it out before we start. We can start with what you know and get curious from there.

  • The consultation is a free 20-minute video call. I’ll ask a little about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re looking for, and you can ask me questions about how I work. We’ll also talk about practical things like scheduling and next steps. The point is to get a sense of whether working together seems like a good fit.

  • Both. I work with individuals and people in relationships, and I offer individual therapy, relationship therapy, and sex therapy. You can also come to therapy individually to work on concerns related to relationships, intimacy, or sex. Your partner doesn’t need to participate for those things to be worth talking about.

  • Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Depending on what brings you to therapy and how the work develops, we may decide that a different frequency makes more sense. We’ll talk about that together rather than assuming the same schedule works for everyone.

  • 50-minute sessions are $250 and 80-minute sessions are $320. If cost is a barrier to working together, you’re welcome to ask me about fee flexibility. I can’t always accommodate a reduced fee, but I’m happy to have the conversation.

  • I don’t accept insurance directly. I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because plans vary, I recommend checking with your insurance company about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

  • All sessions are currently offered via telehealth. We’ll meet by secure video, so you can join sessions from a private location that works for you.

  • You need to be physically located in Washington State at the time of your therapy sessions. You don’t need to live in a particular part of Washington, so I can work with clients throughout the state via telehealth.

PRACTICAL STUFF

  • Pretty much anything that feels relevant to you. Relationships, sex, anxiety, trauma, identity, work, family, your body, your brain, something that happened years ago, or something weird that happened on Tuesday. You don’t have to decide whether something is “important enough” for therapy before bringing it up.

  • Yes. My work is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I work with clients across a range of identities, relationships, and family structures. You don’t need to explain or defend who you are, and I won’t assume there’s a particular way your identity, relationships, or sex life should look.

  • It means I don’t approach ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent ways of experiencing the world as problems that need to be corrected. We can get curious about how your brain works, what makes things harder or easier, and what you actually need—rather than starting from the assumption that you “should” function more like someone else.

  • No. Sex therapy can include concerns about desire, pleasure, intimacy, sexual functioning, identity, bodies, relationships, health, trauma, or the messages you’ve absorbed about sex. You can also come because you have questions, something has changed, or you simply want a place where talking about sex isn’t treated as strange or embarrassing.
