Getting started

Finding the right therapist is an important decision. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation for prospective clients.

Clients utilizing insurance should find me on Headway.

Clients who will private-pay may use phone, text, or email:

To protect your privacy, please do not include detailed clinical information via text or email.

I check messages daily on in-office days and attempt to respond by the end of the next in-office day. Currently I am in the office Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

What to expect

I will send several documents prior to our first session that you must complete and return before we meet.

Our first session is an invitation to begin building a space of safety and containment worthy of your courage.

This initial meeting focuses on getting to know one another, exploring what brings you to therapy, and clarifying your hopes and goals for our work. There is no pressure to dive deeply into painful details right away; instead, our goal is to establish a shared comfort level, discuss logistics, and ensure we are a good fit for your ongoing journey.

Office location

911 Stewart Street, Office 203, Seattle, 98101

Paid street parking is available, several paid parking lots are nearby, and there are a variety of public transit options that bring you close to the building. If you bike to the office, you can bring your bicycle inside during your session. The building is secure and requires me to buzz you in by intercom or walk down to let you in. The building, including my office, is accessible.

When telehealth is necessary, you will receive a link via Headway the day of your session.
