There is power in being seen

Please click HERE to sign up for my client portal so you can view my calendar and book your 15-minute free consultation with me via telehealth. I provide free consultations as this allows us to get to know each other a bit and determine whether we could be a good fit to work together.

If you are 18+, self-identify as queer, and reside in Washington state, I can work with you! Telehealth is a convenient and empowering way to access therapy that reduces barriers and works for your schedule, but may not be the best fit for everyone.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Washington: LH61073131. You can confirm my Washington license here. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC): 330387. I have Master's of Education and Education Specialist degrees (MEd/EdS) in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Florida's College of Counselor Education with a specialty in LGBT+ affirmative counseling.

Here are some best practices for a good telehealth session: find a quiet, secure room where you can close the door and be alone (home is best but other locations can be perfectly reasonable); make sure your internet connection is stable; set up your camera and microphone ahead of time; clear your browser cache and cookies (my telehealth platform is browser-based); silence your phone and other devices.

Please make sure to read over and sign my informed consent paperwork (in my client portal) before we meet for a first counseling session. This information contains all of my practice's policies and procedures, which we can also go over together verbally while in session. I believe that consent is an ongoing practice.

My rate is $200 per session, payable by credit/debit card or HSA (health savings account) in my client portal. A note on session cost: my full fee slots help support my ethical principles to dedicate a portion of my practice to providing therapy to marginalized folx at a pro bono or sliding scale rate.

I am not in network with any insurance companies, but I can provide you with a Superbill for out of network (OON) reimbursement if requested (this will require me to give you a diagnosis, which we can talk about more in depth in our first session if you are interested).

Though my calendar shows hourly appointment options, each session is around 50 minutes in length (a typical "therapy hour").

The cadence of our meetings is completely up to you. Sometimes folx want weekly sessions, others like a biweekly pace, still others prefer monthly check-ins or on an as-needed basis, but we can work together to find the best balance for your schedule and needs.
