I offer online counseling to clients all throughout Oregon. I offer in-person appointments on Tuesdays for folks in the area (my office is in SE Portland). Online appointments are conducted through HIPAA compliant videoconferencing.

I offer daytime appointments Monday - Thursday. In-person appointments are available on Tuesdays.

In our initial session, I will ask about your background, relevant history, current challenges, and your goals for counseling. At the end of this assessment, I’ll offer you some first impressions of what our work can include and collaborate on a treatment plan if you choose to continue with counseling.

If I am in-network with your insurance provider, and if you choose to use your insurance, I will need to request some information to verify your benefits and bill for services such as: date of birth, full name, insurance provider, group/member ID. Before the first appointment, I will need a copy of your insurance card for billing purposes.

Please check your coverage carefully. Here are common questions all clients should ask your insurance provider beforehand:

- Is this health provider in-network with my insurance?

- Do I have mental health benefits?

- Does my insurance cover telehealth?

- Do I have more than one insurance provider? If so, who is the primary and who is secondary?

- Is a prior authorization required for mental health benefits? (If so, please provide the authorization number).

- How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

- What is my deductible and has it been met?

- What is my financial responsibility/coverage amount under my insurance plan for counseling services? (E.g.: Co-pay and how much, co-insurance, etc.)

Out-of-Network: I would be happy to provide you with the necessary paperwork (a superbill) if you think your insurance plan has some out of network benefits. It is your responsibility, however, to get reimbursed for what you have paid for services if this occurs. I always encourage you ask if/how much does your insurance plan cover for an out-of-network provider.

You can fill out this contact form, email, or call me if you are interested in working with me. I will get back to you and let you know if I have openings to accept new clients. I will ask for a brief description of why you are seeking services, and some initial screening questions to determine if I would be an appropriate fit. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have before you decide to schedule an initial appointment with me.
