Therapeutic style
Therapeutic style
I practice relational narrative therapy in a warm, conversational, and practical way, often incorporating writing of some kind. I believe therapy is a collaborative process in pursuit of preferred ways of living and being in relationship. Together we seek out different perspectives and try to articulate what you value most and tell the meaningful stories of your life: painful, joyful, and somewhere in-between. I'll accompany you on this search for vision and understanding. I'll welcome your curiosity, feelings, and reflections into our conversations. You walk your own path, and where you head is up to you; it’s my honor to help you access the most relevant skills and knowledges to move in those preferred directions with a solid sense of agency and a deep sense of connection with others.
Professional background
Professional background
I have a Master’s Degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. My coursework included major systemic therapeutic models, human development and family life cycles, equity in relational therapy, human sexuality, and assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have additional training in psychological first aid, suicide assessment, perinatal mental health, and parenting in early childhood. I have completed graduate-level narrative therapy training through the Evanston Family Therapy Center. My clinical work has been at the Lewis & Clark Community Counseling Center, Lutheran Community Services NW, and in private practice. Prior to graduate school, I practiced holistic peer counseling and was a labor organizer.
Statement on AI
AI is increasingly hard to avoid and therapists have begun incorporating AI into their practices, mainly to record sessions and assist with clinical notes. Using AI in therapy, in any manner, does not align with my personal ethics, and I'm committed to excluding it from any aspect of our therapeutic relationship. You're welcome to ask me more about this. If you're someone who uses AI in a way that feels helpful in your own life, I'm very open and willing to discuss, but you should know that I take a critical stance regarding AI as a whole, particularly in the realm of therapy.
Therapy Rates
I offer sessions on a sliding scale from $120 to $185 per 55-minute session for individuals and relationships. I have some limited spaces available at $75 and $90 per session.
Consider paying a higher fee on this scale if you're able, as this allows me to offer lower-cost sessions to people with less access to financial resources.
I don't currently bill insurance, but you may be able to use Out-of-Network (OON) benefits to pay for our sessions. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this option.
Therapeutic letter writing is a fee-by-exchange - each exchange is on a sliding scale from $30 to $60. An exchange is one letter received plus one response. This fee includes the time it takes to read, reflect, respond, and edit the response, as well as the years I've spent studying therapy, practicing with clients, studying literature and creative writing, and regularly engaging in reading and writing practices. Given the intrinsic difficulty in setting fees for letter writing, I'm also open to negotiating payment alternatives.
