If you’re interested in working with me, please click the link below or on my contact page to schedule a 15 minute consultation. The consultation is a free, relatively brief phone call in which I will ask some questions about what brings you to counseling in order to determine if I’ll be able to meet your needs. It’s also a great time for you to ask whatever questions you have for me.

If, after our consultation, I determine your needs are within my scope of practice and you decide you’d like to work with me, I will send over an email with a link to your Client Portal. From there, you can fill out the intake paperwork and other required documents, and we will coordinate via email to get you scheduled for your first appointment.

Because your course of therapy is based on the relationship that we have together, every course of therapy is different. Some people find that they prefer short-term therapy (about 10-20 sessions), others find that they benefit from the depth afforded by an open-ended approach. That said, there are some consistencies to the way I work. In the first few sessions, we will work to set up a treatment plan that provides some scaffolding for us to address the goals you’re bringing to therapy. This process includes what I believe is a vitally important question to ask: “When the goals you’ve brought to therapy are accomplished, how will you know?”

Because I believe that our conscious, waking experience is just the tip of the iceberg, a significant part of our work will likely be to slow down and feel into the present. From there, our work will be to chart a course where we’re needed.

I currently am only able to accept OHP Open Card and Care Oregon (through Health Share of Oregon) insurance. If you have questions about your insurance coverage, please inquire on the contact page.

That’s a great question! A thunderegg is a type of rock.

On the outside, thundereggs can seem pretty unassuming. On the inside, they can contain a broad spectrum of colors, shapes, and textures, all of which form in response to the specific environmental conditions they endured while forming.

Just like us, they are an accumulation of discrete experiences and context, as well as an indivisible and unique whole. There’s a metaphor in there, and I also think they look neat.
