Frequently asked
questions.

  • I can accept some insurance plans for counseling. I have active contracts with PacificSource, Moda, and Providence. I am not able to accept any insurances for massage therapy.

  • If you opt to pay out of pocket instead of using health insurance, I can offer a growth oriented counseling service that is anti-pathologizing and does not require a mental health diagnosis. This type of counseling empowers you to choose how long you want services rather than being limited to what is medically necessary. Growth oriented telehealth counseling is $165 for a 60-minute session. However as accessibility is important to me, you may request to pay out of pocket on a sliding scale for as little as $85.

  • Bodywork is $120 for a 60 minute session. However as accessibility is important to me, if this creates a barrier for you getting the care you need, you may request to pay on a sliding scale as little as $65.

  • If you are not using your health insurance then services need to be paid the day of your appointment via credit card, debit card, or HSA.

  • I accept a limited number of clients to keep my caseload at a place where I can energetically show up with complete presence and authenticity for each session. This is the way that I respect my own nervous system’s sensitivities and needs. And I believe it is the way that I can be most impactful for the client’s that I do see. This is factored into how I determine my rates to cover the cost of maintaining my business.

  • As a general rule to maintain clear boundaries, I will see a client for either individualized bodywork sessions or counseling, not both.

  • As a general rule to maintain clear boundaries, if you are actively working with me at a different agency, then I cannot work with you at my private practice. However, you are welcome to ask if your particular circumstances apply to this.

  • My licenses allow me to work within Oregon only. It is important that you are currently in Oregon, even if we are meeting via telehealth. If you are a current client and you are traveling out of state temporarily, depending on the state, there may be an exception. If you have questions about this, please contact me and ask.
