Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Send me a message to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. During this phone call we will discuss what you are seeking therapy for, scheduling, payment, and any questions you have for me.

    2. If it seems like a good fit we will schedule a first session and get you set up with a client portal account. You will need to review and sign all the required documentation before our first session.

    3. Start working together! First (and sometimes second) sessions are very different from later ones as I will get a broad overview of your concerns, history, background, and goals. If at any point either of us decides that it is not a good fit, I will offer referrals to other places you can receive the care you are seeking.

  • I accept most plans using the following insurances:

    • Medicaid

    • United

    • Aetna

    • Kaiser

    For those who are uninsured or not wanting to use insurance, my fees are sliding scale as follows:

    • Standard rate: Reflective of the time and expenses involved.

      • $140 for 53-minutes

    • Reduced rates: Designed to accommodate low-income clients and those facing financial hardship (limited availability).

      • $70, $90, or $120 for 53-minutes

    Clients are matched to these fee levels based on factors like income, financial challenges, and specific needs.

    During your free 20-minute phone consult we will discuss if you are using insurance or sliding scale, and if using the latter, what rate makes the most sense for you based on your financial situation.

    Please note that a diagnoses is required for all healthcare services that bill insurance. Some people do not feel comfortable with this and choose to pay out-of-pocket instead. I treat all clients equitably whether you use insurance or not, however, when using insurance there may be limits to the amount or length of sessions based on your coverage.

  • Yes, both!

    For in-person, my office is located in Broomfield, just off Highway 36 and Highway 287. It is wheelchair accessible and has plenty of free parking.

    For online, I am able to work with anyone who lives in Colorado. You'll need access to a private space, a computer/phone with video capability, and a solid internet connection.

  • Most sessions are 50-minutes. I offer longer 80-minute sessions for those wanting extra time.

    I usually recommend weekly sessions to start and then some clients switch to bi-weekly as their needs shift. Occasionally I meet with established clients on a monthly basis if that works better for therapeutic maintenance needs.

    Some clients work with me for a short period of time (less than a month), while others choose to continue working together for over a year. Ultimately, the length of time we work together is based on your desired goals, complexity of care, and continued interest in working together. If, at any point, either of us decide that it’s not a supportive fit, I will happily provide referrals to other clinicians.

    • Allow transition time before and after sessions for integration.

    • Come prepared with an experience you want to process, remaining open-minded to the various directions it may lead us. Some sessions might allow for more emotional depth than others and it doesn't always have to be "negative" things we are working on - sometimes celebrating the "positives" is just as beneficial!

      • It's okay if you aren't sure what you want to work on during any given week. I can suggest ongoing themes, reminders of goals, or we can simply be curious about what it's like to not know.

    • Journaling or making notes throughout the week can help you remember ideas you want to bring in to session.

    • If something isn't working for you, please let me know! The therapeutic relationship is a dynamic process that is meant to be grounded and safe while also honoring the human-ness through which we both show up.

    • If online, find a comfortable, private place with solid internet connection to join from and try to minimize distractions.

    • Bring water, snacks, fidget toys, art supplies, pillows, or anything else you may need to feel comfortable.

  • No, I do not provide crisis support. If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, please use the resources below:
