Frequently Asked Questions

I am fully licensed in Washington, Oregon, and Ohio.

I am also a member of PSYPACT, which allows me to work with clients in most other states. To check if your state participates, click here.

Consultations are not subject to these rules and I am able to provide these brief services regardless of your location.

I currently only meet with clients virtually.

Please contact me for information about current rates.

I do not take insurance, but if I provide an evaluation or therapy for your child, I can give you a Health Insurance Claim Form (Superbill) to submit directly to your insurance company. This should allow you to be reimbursed according to your out-of-network provider benefit.

Please note that consultations are typically not reimbursable.

Most of my clients are between 5 and 40, though I have experience with and welcome older adults clients as well.  

Some things need more than weekly virtual sessions can offer, including severe OCD, bipolar or psychotic illness, or situations where there are real safety concerns. Working remotely across many states means I have to be careful about this. If that's the case, I'll tell you, and I'll help you find someone who can accommodate your clinical needs.

If you're unsure whether this applies to you, feel free to reach out here.

I do my best to get started with new clients as quickly as possible, but at times I have a waitlist. In those cases, I do my best to make myself available for consultations, which I can usually schedule within a couple of weeks.

If timing is sensitive, please reach out and I can let you know the current wait time.

After completing a thorough evaluation, I will write a comprehensive report, similar in format to other kinds of psychological reports. This serves as the “letter” that many clinics require, but goes well beyond a cookie-cutter letter that “checks the boxes.”

While my evaluations with adults are not always as thorough as those done with minors, I feel that anyone considering gender-affirming medical interventions deserves a process that is individualized and not rushed.
