Individual Therapy Work
I provide individual therapy to people 14 and over. Work with Young AdultsI listen without judgement and give input where there is need. Teens often feel like they are the 'problem'.
I help them find their strengths and work towards solutions. Everyone's brain works differently - it is our job to figure out what works for us. I am also able to help them learn effective and respectful ways to communicate with the other people in their lives. Teletherapy appointments are also available.
Work with Family Although my main focus will be working with your teen, it's essential to have regular meetings every 4-5 weeks - either in person or on telehealth - to discuss progress, goals, and challenges. As a parent, you know your child best, and your insights help me to see the big picture. This ongoing communication is crucial to our work and ensures that everyone is on the same page. While maintaining you and your teen's confidentiality, I will share the "game plan" with you and keep you informed of the skills we're working on. We will also discuss the teenage brain and development. It's important to recognize that family life plays a significant role in your teen's growth and progress. I am available to support everyone who is connected to your teen's life. As parents, we often rely on what we learned from our own families or from the media, but this may not always be the best approach. With so much conflicting advice out there, it can be hard to know what to do. I can help you sort through the noise and find solutions that work for you and your family. I am passionate about helping families learn to communicate effectively and often bring everyone together to create new communication patterns and clarify understanding. Investment Intake Appointment: 60 Minutes: $250 The Intake appointment requires more time for many reasons and is billed at a higher rate than standard appointments. Individual Therapy 60 minutes - $200 If you would like a longer family session we can make arrangements for that. School Intervention Virtual Conference with School: $175/Hour In-Person Conference with School: $225/Hour Phone Calls If you would like to schedule a call, I will bill in 15 minute increments: 15 minute call = $50 30 minute call = $100 |
Insurance If you would like to work with me and access insurance benefits, please call the number on the back of your health insurance card to find out what your out-of-network mental health benefits are and confirm that they reimburse for services provided by a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA).
Some questions you may want to ask:
Payment is collected directly after each session. I will text you a link to an app called "Ivy Pay". It is a HIPPA compliant and secure app that allows you to put a credit card or an HSAFSA card on file. You enter it one time and then I just charge it after each session. If you prefer to pay by check or cash, it will need to be collected at the time of the session. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available. |
Mid-Life Transitions
As a therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals going through mid-life transitions. I understand that this stage of life can bring about significant change, whether it's a shift in identity, relationships, or challenges in career and physical health. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore these feelings and uncertainties. In our sessions, I use techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help you manage any anxiety, depression, or existential concerns that might arise. Together, we'll work on rediscovering your sense of purpose and building the resilience needed to adapt to this new phase of life. My goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies that will help you navigate these changes and enhance your overall well-being. Issaquah Office:
545 Rainier Blvd N. Issaquah, WA 98027 Parking available on the street and in the parking lot next to the building. Walking and talking is also an option for our sessions. Please let me know if you are interested in that! Cancellation PolicyI have a 48 hour cancellation policy.
If you do not show up for your appointment and you have not notified us at least 48 hours in advance, you will be charged the full amount for the session. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, we will end the session on the scheduled time. I try to be as understanding as possible, but I do work with teens and busy executives who miss sessions and cancel often. I need to honor my cancellation policy in order to protect the viability of my practice. A $20.00 service charge will be charged for any checks returned for any reason for special handling. The standard meeting time for psychotherapy is 55 minutes. If you would like to have a different type of session please let me know. |
