FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a standard rate per hour for both individuals and couples. I have a sliding scale that offers support to clients who do not have insurance or the means to pay the full rate. I am a part of Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, a site of professionals who believe mental health services should be affordable to everyone who wants mental health services.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss concerns you have and the goals you want to achieve in our work together. If a client wishes to continue, I schedule the first session, provide paperwork, discuss confidentiality, informed consent, and client rights to privacy. Additional appointments are scheduled to begin the process of counseling.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Master of Arts in Education in Counseling from Seattle University. I also hold a National Certified Counselor certification as well as an Associate's License to practice Mental Health Counseling in Washington State. I have maintained an average of over 36 clock hours per year in continuing education related to topics of anxiety, depression, suicide prevention, gestalt therapy, and career counseling.
