I provide therapy for adults ages 18+ and of all genders. Sessions are 50 minutes.

You must be located in Washington State to receive services. Currently, I hold therapy sessions both via telehealth and in person in the Eastlake neighborhood in Seattle.

For therapy to be effective and healing, it’s so important to find someone you’re comfortable working with. I offer a free, 15-20 minute consultation by phone or video so we can discover whether we’re a good fit and to answer questions you might have. To request a consultation, please submit this form.

My fee is $160 per session. I offer limited reduced fee spots that are available dependent on a client's financial circumstances and my current caseload.

As described here, you have the right to receive a “good faith estimate” for the cost of my services, which I will provide to you if we begin working together.

I‘m not in network with insurance providers. However, I can provide you with invoices (also known as “superbills”) that you can send to your insurance company to request reimbursement.

If you are interested in seeking reimbursement from your insurance company for my services, I recommend asking them the following questions:

— Do I have out-of-network benefits? And if I do:

— Have I met my deductible?

— Does my plan cover reimbursement for services from Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC’s) for CPT code 90834?

— Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have?

— What is the percentage of reimbursement for out-of-network services?

We’ll review a few logistics and paperwork as needed, and will then discuss what brought you to seek therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. We may also talk about your background as a person, what’s happening in your life right now, and anything else that might feel helpful to understand as we get started.

I have availability to meet in person in the Eastlake neighborhood in Seattle.

I also hold telehealth sessions via Simple Practice, a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. A secure wifi connection, a private space, and a video-enabled device is all you’ll need.

I ask for a commitment to a weekly cadence because it’s important to the type of work we’ll undertake together. My therapeutic approach is oriented towards a deeper process of bringing to light the parts of oneself that have remained hidden, unconscious, or unknown – parts that are difficult to catch sight of or to work with sporadically or alone. This approach, therapeutic work in general, and the conditions for rewiring your nervous system to allow healing and growth to take place depends on building a sense of emotional safety and trust in our relationship. As a therapist, I’ve found that this fertile ground is difficult to create without consistent and frequent time together; I know this from my experience in the client seat as well.

Weekly sessions also mean: using rather than losing insights and toeholds for change that you are developing; showing yourself that you are prioritizing your own healing and growth; supporting your ability to keep open the window for vulnerability and openness that allows you to access your inner self; and spending less time catching up and instead focusing on moving deeper and forward.

Some people find it useful to meet more than weekly. If this is desired and clinically appropriate, I’m happy to discuss this.

I chose “Crescent” for the name of my practice because it represents some of what I hold dear about therapy and being human. The origin of the word is rooted in “growth.” I love looking at a crescent moon and being able to believe and trust - even if I cannot see it illuminated in the moment - that there is always a whole moon there. As with any of us, there is forever more than we can know and see, change is always taking place, and we can never be done discovering what is there and what can be.
