Frequently Asked Questions.

What are some of the expectations you as a therapist have about sessions?

  • I want you to leave sessions feeling like there is an achievable outcome to whatever problem you are facing. I want you to feel invigorated in this period of your life.

  • To develop tailor made therapy tools that are easy and practical to implement in your busy life.

  • Growth and acceptance of yourself in your current season of life. Let us explore what you want to achieve with the year ahead.

Where does therapy take place?

  • I am located in Yelm, Washington. At this time I provide virtual appointments on a HIPPA compliant video platform for most appointments.

  • Adolescent clients can be seen in their homes. I work with parents or guardians to schedule in home therapy that best suits the teen’s needs. A private space such as a spare office while need to be available for session.

    • Some school districts do allow me to visit teens during school hours.

How long is therapy and how many sessions to attend?

  • The first appointment is called a intake session; 1hr and 20mins long. All other sessions are 60 mins.

    • 30 min brief sessions are available at a reduced rate.

  • Traditional mental health therapy:

    • 6-8 sessions or longer.

  • Career focus therapy:

    • 3-6 sessions.

  • Adolescent client sessions:

    • Can range from 8 to 12 sessions. Teenagers take a little bit of time to warm up to the idea of therapy. Please see my Grow Rich Page for more.

  • Coming in 2027! Pain Reprocessing Therapy

What is a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor?

A Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) is a clinician with specialized training that focuses on career counseling and disability advocacy. As a VRC, I have personal and professional knowledge about complex disabilities.

I focus on work place accommodations, complex physical & mental health disabilities, clinical vocational assessments, general knowledge of ADA law, advocacy for disability-related barriers to employment, and more in session.

Do you take health insurance?

No, at this time I do not take health insurance. Please see Price Page for more details.
