I have put a pause on In-person services at this time.

Online therapy allows you to connect with a therapist from the comfort of your own space, using Spruce. You’ll engage in the same personalized sessions as in-person therapy, but with the added convenience of scheduling flexibility and no commute. Whether you’re at home or on the go, online therapy provides a safe, supportive space to work through your challenges and reach your goals.

In-Person Therapy is preferred and allows for a stronger therapeutic relationship to be built quicker. The office is located easily in downtown Portland.

Will be relocating to Maryland in Nov 2025. TBD if I will have a physical office space at this moment.

Free Phone Consultation

I offer a free 15-minute phone consult to allow an opportunity to connect and see if we may be a good match to work together. Some factors that may determine a good fit are: our schedule alignment, your goals for therapy, and topics that you wish to cover in therapy sessions. If for any reason your schedule doesn't align or your goals are outside of my scope of practice, I am happy to send you referrals of therapists who may best match your schedule or specific issues that you hope to process in therapy.

Insurance:

Cost to client varies with insurance plan. I will verify your insurance and inform you of your co-pay/coinsurance fee, prior to starting our work together. It is ultimately your responsibility to know your insurance benefits.

Out-Of-Pocket Fees & Sliding Scale

I offer a sliding scale based upon income for those using private pay to help make therapy more affordable.​

• Income < 150k / year = $180 a session

• Income 150k- 199k/ year = $200 a session

• Income >200k / year = $240 a session

I’m currently out-of-network with all insurance panels. This means payment is made at the time of service, and I provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
This setup allows us to focus on your care—without insurance dictating the process.

A superbill is a detailed receipt for your therapy sessions that includes all the information your insurance company may need for reimbursement.

After you pay for your session, I’ll provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of the cost.

Think of it as your “submit this to insurance” paperwork—without me being in the middle of it.

In your first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy, along with any specific goals or challenges you want to work on. It will hopefully feel like a casual conversation as we get to know each other.

We’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to understand what’s holding you back and start building a plan that’s tailored to you. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where you can openly share, ask questions, and get comfortable with the process.

The length of therapy depends on your unique goals, needs, and the challenges you’re facing. Some people find relief after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support to work through deeper issues or make lasting changes. Together, we’ll regularly assess your progress and adjust the plan to ensure you're getting the support you need, whether it's for a short-term boost or ongoing growth.

Short Answer: Yes

Long Answer: I compared the start of therapy like online dating. You read my profile and think we might connect so you swiped RIGHT! I can only speak to my experience, but I know when I met someone for the first few times it’s uncomfortable because they are a stranger.

After some dates/sessions, you will see that we will be comfortable with each other where we can trust each other be our authentic selves.

And if it isn’t a good fit....I want you to tell me!!! I pinkie promise that you will not hurt my feelings if you say that this isn’t working for you anymore. I will help you find another therapist where you might connect better with. because I want you to get the most out of your time and experience!

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE: *effective January, 2022

This information for clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance. 

As part of the No Surprises Act, individuals who use self pay for services are entitled to a good faith estimate. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance 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. ​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 call (800) 368-1019.
