Psychotherapy

• Please note that I am out of the office from April 24th through May 3rd.

• I specialize in the treatment of trauma in adults (ages 18 and older). I work with all genders. I have experience working with folks from 18, up through their 60s and 70s. I provide either weekly sessions, or periodic therapy intensives.

• At this time I offer telehealth sessions. Outdoor therapy, or “walk-and-talk” sessions become available again in the spring, depending on schedule variables. Note that I live in Chimacum, Washington, just outside of Port Townsend.

• Fees:

  • Individual therapy session, 60 minutes: $210

  • Intensive therapy session, 3-4 hours: $250/hour

• I am a private pay or out-of-network provider for all insurance companies. I am happy to provide patients with a receipt of service (“superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please confirm with your insurance provider that this is an option on your plan.

• Please note a few things I do not do:

  • I do not provide therapeutic support on weekends, and I am happy to help you find the right provider or treatment options to fit your needs. I frequently work with patients who are recently discharged from higher levels of care. In these cases, I do require signed Releases of Information so I can coordinate care with facilities and prescribers.

  • I do not provide every-other-week or once-monthly sessions, unless and until someone has been in therapy for quite awhile, as it tends to be less effective and can actually create a sense that “nothing is happening,” which certainly doesn’t make you feel enthusiastic about therapy!

What Starting Therapy Looks Like

During your first session, we’ll work on intake paperwork and make sure you’re set up with your own Simple Practice client portal. I use this first session to get to know you, and to better understand your needs and where you’re coming from.
