Frequently Asked Questions

Also called Evidence-Based-Psychotherapies (EBP) is a short-hand to describe treatments that have been rigorously tested to ensure that they work. In order to provide EBP's, a therapist has to engage in extensive training and supervision and this process often leads to certification in the particular therapy. I have been trained in a range of different EBP's so that I am able to adapt my approach to my clients while providing the highest standard of care.

I use assessment and self-report outcome measures to help us track how you are doing and whether the approach that we are using is helpful to you. Typically, this involves a thorough initial assessment to establish a starting point and periodic online questionnaires to track symptoms, problems or experiences. In some cases, we may determine that more extensive diagnostic assessment is needed to inform our plan for treatment. 

While I do work with families, I do not work with children individually as this is not my area of training or specialization. If substance-use or crisis-stabilization is the primary concern, my services may not be appropriate. Please reach out if you have questions about this or would like help with a referral to appropriate services. 

I am licensed in three states, California, Oregon and Indiana, so I can only see people who live in one of these three states. 

I do not accept insurance at this time, but I provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance provider. Reimbursement rates may vary based on your insurance coverage, so it is important to contact your insurance company to learn more about their reimbursement rates.

You can schedule an appointment by calling me or sending me a message. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before scheduling an initial appointment, where you can ask me any questions about my practice, and I can get a sense of what you hope to work on.
