Consultation
Free
I offer one complimentary 15 min. consultation which provides an opportunity to ask me any questions to determine if I would be the right "fit" for you.

I will occasionally offer couples or family sessions if it is in the best interest of an existing client. I do not offer stand-alone couples or family counseling at this time.
In-Network
Accessing mental health benefits offered by your insurance provider can help offset costs associated with treatment. Typically mental health benefits are similar to other physical health benefits including yearly visit limits, co-payments and deductibles. They also require that services be deemed "medically necessary" which requires a mental health diagnosis and may be subject to prior authorization.
Out-of-Network
If you have an insurance provider that is not listed below, services may still be covered in part or in whole if you have "out-of-network mental health" benefits. Please contact your insurance provider using the member services number listed on the back of your health insurance card for more information on what services you may be eligible for.
Employee Assistance Programs
Many employers offer employee assistance program (EAP) benefits which are a voluntary, work-based intervention program designed to assist employees in coping with or resolving personal and work-related stressors that could potentially affect that employee's performance or ability to work. They often include a limited number or short term therapeutic counseling option at no cost to you. Please contact your employer HR department to inquire about this benefit.
Sliding Scale
It is very important to me that mental health services be accessible to all regardless of socioeconomic status or financial access. If you are facing financial hardship, please ask me for more information about my sliding scale option.
Community Resources
If none of these options sound like they would be a good fit for you, there are some other community resources in the Portland area that you can look into:
- Portland State Community Counseling Clinic ($15 per session)
- William Temple House ($0-$40 per session)
- Wise Counsel & Comfort ($40 capped fee per session with select clinicians)
No Surprises Act
