HELP CENTER
WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER THERAPY?
I currently accept Kaiser Permanente insurance. Call Member Services to request a referral for a community provider and give them my name.
I don't currently accept other insurances; however, your sessions may be partially reimbursable. Ask your insurance provider about out-of-network coverage. I will give you a "superbill" to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
WHEN CAN I GET AN APPOINTMENT?
When your first appointment takes place varies from one to four weeks. If there isn't a session available soon enough for you, I am happy to place you on a cancellation list.
You may also book your own appointments at regular intervals up to six months in advance.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
Simply visit the secure client portal, and follow the prompts to schedule yourself at your convenience.
CLIENT PORTAL
DO YOU SEE KIDS?
Many people know me from my work at Kaiser Permanente when I specialized in Child and Family Counseling. I see kids by referral only (Kaiser or former client). Please keep in mind that I only offer online counseling.
IS ONLINE THERAPY EFFECTIVE?
Countless research projects have pointed to evidence that online therapy is just as effective as in person therapy. However, there are some instances where online therapy is not appropriate (e.g. young kids, safety issues, etc). If you are unsure or have more questions, outreach me before booking an appointment.
HOW DOES ONLINE THERAPY WORK?
Online therapy is very similar to in-person therapy without the travel. I have a few recommendations:
​
Choose a space free of distractions and as comfortable as possible for you.
Thought it's not always possible, I recommend choosing the same space every time. Your brain begins to associate that space with working on your healing.
I recommend headphones or earbuds, though they aren't mandatory except in the case of hypnosis sessions.
WHAT IS PAST LIFE REGRESSION?
The research in this area shows that, especially for people who feel stuck in therapy, past life regression therapy is useful in finding patterns, trauma, and struggles in previous lives that affect one's current life.
You don't have to believe in past lives for this therapy to be useful. Often simply by recalling a past life, people experience resolution of their symptoms in this life.
Whether it's "real" or not doesn't matter nearly as much as how it affects present-day symptoms. Many find symptom relief after their first session.
HOW MUCH ARE SESSIONS? HOW LONG ARE THEY?
60-minute sessions are $165 for an individual and $175 for a family/couple.
30-minute sessions are also available for $125.
Hypnosis sessions run 90 minutes for the first session at $225; 60 minutes for follow-up sessions.
ONLINE THERAPY CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, RIGHT?
You don't have to be within driving distance of my office (yay!); however, I am bound by my licenses and may only practice in Oregon and New Jersey.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
As much as possible, I require 24 hours notice prior to canceling your appointment. This is so I have time to outreach people on the cancellation list.
There is a $50 fee for missed or late canceled appointments.
