Services Offered

I prefer to work with individuals in a 1:1 format in a 55 min "hour" appointment. Due to COVID-19, my practice moved to exclusively Telehealth (video) format. This is now the primary option for appointments and will continue so until further notice. If you have never tried Telehealth with a provider - it's easy! I currently use Zoom account with a medical account for added security. I also have a few back-up apps just in case. It can open in any web browser on Mac, PC, phone, or tablet. All you need is stable internet, a quiet & private location, and a device with a camera (computer, tablet, or smartphone).

No camera? That's ok! We can utilize other Telehealth options.

INdividual

1:1 sessions with adults, teens, and tweens. Although the main method is talking, we can incorporate art, play, writing, or a non-disruptive hobby activity for those needing to "fidget" while we meet. Secure real-time text format is also available for check-in non-emergent appointments of 20 minutes or less.

Family & partners

Washington state grants protection of privacy for those age 13 and up. That said, I do ask to have family involvement when possible, especially for those under 18. For this, the client and I may invite family in as guests to help collaborate and support treatment goals.

Partners can be the main supports in one's mental health progress. Often by including them when the presenting concern involves behavior changes and requests of those around us, they can gain education and insight to better support you in your process.

coaching

Coaching is different from therapy in that it doesn't include a clinical lens. Best results are typically with those who are of a stable mood , are ready to consider a change, and have the desire to take some risks by putting those ideas into action! It can be brainstorming, organizing a slew of ideas/thoughts, and accountability check-ins when following a personalized set of steps for a major life shift. I love working with other creative people that may feel stuck and need support getting over that wall and onto the making phase! I'm currently working with a coach myself for something similar. This has resulted in a better ability to empathize with your process and what questions spark big thoughts!

consulting

I'm available to share my knowledge of gender identity, ACT Matrix, and Adult Play Therapy concepts with other providers or organizations seeking to learn. Hourly rate applies plus travel and any printed materials. Currently offered by video format via Zoom or in-person if in the Seattle area..
