Individual & Group Sessions

Individual Sessions

Individual sessions are 53-minutes; and provided on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on appropriate clinical need. The first 1 - 3 sessions typically focus on gathering background information, symptom assessment, and developing a treatment plan that focus on your goals.

My therapeutic style is personable and interactive, rather than the "blank slate" of years past. This style provides an opportunity for authentic human connection, reduced shame, and deeper healing.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, individual sessions are framed around the impact of relationships in the development of identity and blueprints for interaction with others and the world around you.

Group Sessions

Group sessions vary and can range from 1 to 2 hours and can meet on a weekly or monthly basis. Some groups are open ended meaning anyone can attend at any session; while other groups are closed meaning once the group starts, no new attendees may join.

Out of Network:

I am happy to provide a Superbill for those whose insurance accepts Superbills for out-of-network providers. Please confirm Superbill allowance and conditions of coverage with your insurance provider PRIOR to scheduling a session to avoid denial of reimbursement from your health insurance provider.

Good Faith Estimate:

Beginning January 1, 2022: Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers need to give clients who do not have insurance or who are not using their insurance to pay for services rendered an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or contact the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner at: 1-800-562-6900, or the California Department of Insurance 1-800-927-4357.
