We'll talk by phone or video for about 20 minutes. You can share what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and get a feel for how I work. There's no pressure. It's simply a chance to see if we're a good fit.

Our first session is a 90-minute intake. It gives us unhurried time to understand your history, what you're hoping for, and how we'll work together, so you're not squeezing your story into an hour.

As a pre-licensed associate, I can't bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill for you to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

I offer limited telehealth for clients located in Oregon. Because I'm registered to practice only in Oregon, you'll need to be physically in the state during any session, even temporarily.

Adults 18+ and couples. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and kink-friendly, and I welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and relationship structures, including ENM and polyamorous relationships.
