Therapy and coaching sessions requested on evenings or weekends (when available) may incur additional fees. I am committed to complete transparency in pricing. All fees will be laid out clearly in your paperwork before any payment is accepted or any work begins. In the event that I raise my fees after you begin working with me, as an existing client, you will be given six months notice before the new rate takes effect.

I am an out of network provider, so I will not bill your insurance directly. Sessions must be paid for at the time of service by cash or credit card. I will, then provide you an itemized receipt (called a superbill) which you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement for out-of-network services (this can often equate to a significant portion of the total cost depending on your coverage).

I reserve a limited number spaces in my practice for attorneys engaged in the practice of public interest law, and I offer substantially discounted pricing to these clients. If you are an attorney working for any non-profit or government agency, please inquire as to pricing. Priority for these spots is for those who are at a high risk of experiencing secondary trauma as part of their work.

I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to students and to attorneys within the first two years of practice.

I see clients either in-person in my office in Downtown Seattle or remotely from the comfort of your own home. For clients seeking in-person appointments, my office is at Sixth and Stewart Street, three blocks from the Amazon spheres and two blocks from Pacific Place mall.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. EMDR draws on the understanding that traumatic memories are often unable to be processed effectively as they overwhelm the brain and thus, are not stored in the same way as other memories. This can lead the traumatized person to relive the traumatic experience or experience aspects of it when one would not expect. For example, a client who had extremely harsh parents and would feel panicky when their parents belittled them over their grades might as an adult feel panicky whenever they are subjected to criticism. This can cause significant distress because of the actual feelings of panic and the client may “rationally” recognize that their feeling of panic is not proportional to what they are experiencing.

Using eye movements or some other form of bilateral stimulation (such as tapping on both sides of the body), an EMDR therapist uses the brain’s natural adaptive information processing (AIP) system to enable it to work through traumatic memories that have gotten “stuck.” In effect, the therapist is manually doing what the overwhelmed brain could not at the time: processing and storing the memories. EMDR is appealing to clients because it doesn’t require recounting every detail of the trauma, rather simply bringing it to mind so it can be processed.

I work only with individuals who are sixteen or older.
