Start with a free phone or virtual consultation to see if we’re a good fit and answer your questions. If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule an intake session.

• Child therapy: First intake is with parents only; the second includes one parent and the child.
  
  

• Adult therapy: Intake focuses on background, current concerns, and treatment goals.

My office is located at 12 Bellwether Way, Suite 220 in Bellingham, Washington.  There is an elevator as well as free parking readily available.

I do not accept insurance in order to provide the highest level of care possible. Working outside of insurance allows me to focus treatment solely on your needs, rather than on insurance requirements such as diagnostic labeling, treatment limits, or session restrictions. It also allows for greater privacy, as insurance companies require access to personal clinical information in order to authorize and reimburse care.

Although I do not accept insurance directly, I can provide monthly superbills upon request. Clients may submit these to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on their plan.

I believe that access to therapy should not be limited by financial circumstances. My standard session fee is $150 (50 minutes) and $175 for initial intake.  I reserve a limited number of reduced-rate ($100) appointments for individuals who may need them. If financial concerns are a barrier to starting or continuing therapy, I encourage you to reach out so we can discuss options. All inquiries are handled with respect and confidentiality.

Please notify me at least 24 hours in advance if you will be unable to make your appointment.  No shows or late cancellations will be billed at the regular rate.  If you or your child are not feeling well, telehealth may be an option.  

Health providers are required to give an estimate of expected costs as part of the No Suprises Act which took effect in 2022.  I will provide you with a copy when we begin working together and on an annual basis after that.  For more information please visit - https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
