You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to start therapy.
Many people begin because something feels off—patterns aren’t working, relationships feel strained, or life is changing in ways that are hard to make sense of.

If you’re curious about understanding yourself more clearly or want space to sort through what’s going on, therapy can be a helpful place to start.

I am in-network with Primera Blue Cross and LifeWise. I am happy to verify coverage before we begin.

If you’re out-of-network, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance provider about your out-of-network benefits. I am happy to provide a script for you to ask your insurance provider.

My work is client-centered and grounded in existential and phenomenological therapy.

That means I focus on understanding your experience—how you make meaning of your life, your relationships, and yourself—rather than trying to fit you into a specific label or diagnosis.

We’ll pay attention to patterns, beliefs, and themes that show up over time, and work together to explore what still fits and what may be ready to change.

I am not a “blank slate” in our relationship and will offer my feelings, thoughts, and opinions when clinically appropriate.

At times, yes. I draw from practical “toolbox” skills when they’re helpful—especially for managing things like anxiety, overwhelm, or difficult moments.

These are informed in part by my experience working at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

That said, I don’t see therapy as only a set of techniques. The core of our work is helping you understand yourself more deeply and develop a different relationship with the challenges you’re facing.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative.

Some days we may focus on something immediate that’s coming up in your life. Other times, we may slow down and explore patterns or themes that have been present over time.

There’s no “right” way to use the space—we’ll shape it together based on what feels most useful.

It depends on what you’re looking for.

Some people come in for a shorter period focused on a specific issue or transition. Others choose longer-term work to explore deeper patterns and questions.

We can check in regularly about what feels helpful and adjust as needed.

That’s completely okay.

Often, therapy begins with a general sense that something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to put into words. Part of the process is slowing down enough to understand that feeling more clearly.
