What type of clients do you work with?

 

Young women starting in late adolescents (17+), individual adult women, and adult men with presenting issues including loss and grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma and abuse, stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and obsessive thoughts.

 

What would you like clients to know about how you work?

 

I am passionate about working with clients to meet their goals and help them be in charge of their own minds. The therapeutic process is a collaborative effort that is tailored to the particularities of each person. My hope is for each client to grow into her/his personhood by practicing self-compassion and acceptance.

My therapeutic orientation: Christian, Relational, Person-Centered, and Existential.

 

What days of the week do you see clients?

 

Monday-Friday

 

Do you accept insurance?

 

Yes. Current insurances I accept are: Regence BS of WA, Premera BC WA, Oxford, Aetna, Oscar Health, UHC, Cigna.

 If we do work together, all my clients create accounts on Headway, an intermediary between myself as a provider, and the insurance companies that assists with Insurance processing, payment and scheduling. It is always the clients responsibility to understand their insurance coverage, so I suggest also confirming w. your particular insurance company.
