About My Practice

I began my journey to help individuals, couples, and families over twenty years ago earning a bachelor’s in Social Work. After studying and practicing a number of techniques and modalities over the years, I found a true passion utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy, helping couples regain intimacy via sex therapy, supporting individuals with addictions, and utilizing sandtray therapy for attachment and trauma. I have a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling as well as years of experience with addiction counseling, sex therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and play therapy studies. 

Out of the office I enjoy the outdoors, yoga, snowboarding, or running with my partner of 25+ years. Together, we enjoy time with our teen son and my two grown step-children. I, like many of my clients, have experienced life in a blended family and understand the obstacles and challenges therein. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. (Oregon license #LMFT: T2153)

I want to understand your story and hear about your goals and passions, as well as the obstacles you are facing. If you are ready to start your journey today and work at your own pace, please send an email or contact me via phone.

You will be greeted with a cup of hot tea or a glass of cold water. We can stay in the office or move to the lovely walking trails onsite for therapy. I have an array of essential oils available and multiple lighting possibilities to help you feel most comfortable as we envision together the future you are longing for.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

Research studies have found that 70-75% of couples undergoing EFT successfully move from distress to recovery, and approximately 90% show significant improvements. This recovery is also quite stable and lasting, with little evidence of relapse back into distress.

Fees & Insurance

I charge $150-200 per hour for clinical sessions.  Payments are set up before we meet through a billing form which is sent to you and billed automatically after each session. I accept credit/debit and healthcare reimbursement cards as well as cash. I accept PacificSource health insurance. I am able to bill Oregon Health Plan (OHP) insurance and offer sliding scale fees.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE) or No Surprises Act

All clients are completely in control of making decisions around duration and frequency of care, in addition to being able to end therapy at any time. In general clients can expect to have between 2-4 sessions per month totaling between 24-48 sessions per year. Clients who utilize insurance are subject to their plan's deductibles/co-pays/co-insurance amounts and can contact their carriers for accurate information. Clients may also choose to be private pay and payment is due at time of service, just like insurance co-pays, etc. Clients can request a paper copy of the GFE and it is included in the initial paperwork.
