As you might guess - it depends. We will typically have an intake session to evaluate your history, go over your goals, identify barriers, and go over forms, questions, policies. Structured approaches such as CPT and PE can be done in 12-15 sessions, once a week (option for twice a week); the number of visits you need or want may vary depend on your goals, readiness to be in a structured approach, or other factors, but I try to make this process a collaborative one. This may end up looking like about 4 months, give or take. Afterwards, some people find it helpful to either focus on additional goals they have, or move to less frequent visits as symptoms improve. Considering how long many patients have dealt with their problems, 4-6 months is often a relatively short, but powerful investment in longer-term wellbeing, prevention, and thriving.

I am paneled with Premera and Lifewise, and otherwise accept private pay (credit cards, HSA cards).

If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, I can provide a superbill, which is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I offer both in-person visits (in Bellevue, WA) and virtual visits (secure telehealth). Outcomes for virtual care are similar to in-person care, and people have reasons for preferring one or the other - I can work with you to make sure we have a setup that works for you.

My request for in-person visits is that if you are feeling sick, you take appropriate precautions (wear a mask in the office, stay home if you have a fever, or switch your visit to virtual that week).

I charge the full session fee for no-shows.

Cancellations less than 24 hours before session are subject to full session fee.

The phoenix or firebird is a mythical bird whose likeness has been incorporated by many cultures into their folklore, legends, or symbolism. The bird is often associated with rebirth, renewal, the cyclical nature of life, danger and beauty, wisdom, strength, and the connection between physical and spiritual worlds. There are several references in pop culture that I appreciate as well!

You can reach out in a number of ways - by filling out the form on my contact page or by calling/texting 425-584-3632, and I will reach out to you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit. After that, I will provide you with a link to create a patient portal, and then we can schedule our first visit.
