Frequently Asked Questions

Who comes to you for therapy?
I treat individuals, couples and families, including those in straight, gay and lesbian relationships. My clients are generally open-minded and motivated towards change, but may be stuck in old patterns, facing difficult life challenges, or are simply seeking to live a fuller life with more balance.

Some specific client issues that I work with include:

Couples Counseling Anxiety & Depression Women's Issues Divorce & Post Divorce Parenting Challenges

Grief & Loss Difficult Family Relationships Life Transitions Spirituality Sexual Identity Issues

How can counseling help?

• Helps you look at your situation more objectively and shed new light on an old problem
• Allows you to share your worries and sort out your feelings in a safe place
• Explains yours and others' behavior and helps to change dysfunctional patterns of thinking or behaving
• Teaches you new and more effective ways to interact with others and deal with challenging situations

How do I make an appointment?
This is the easy part. Simply phone my office at 425-941-0190. All messages are confidential.

Do you have evening appointments?
In addition to my regular weekday hours, I offer some evening appointments.

How much is each appointment?
Each 50-minute session is $90. I currently accept cash or check. I work with clients on a sliding scale when needed.

Do I pay you or does my insurance company?
After your visit, you will pay me. While I do not bill insurance companies directly, if you request, I can provide a statement of services for you to submit to your insurance company.
