Getting Started

Taking the first step is often the hardest part.

If you've been thinking about reaching out for a while — and keep finding reasons to wait — you're not alone. Most people do. This page is here to make that next step feel a little clearer.

What to Expect

We begin with a brief consultation call to see if we’re a good fit. It’s a chance to ask questions and get a feel for working together — with no pressure to decide on the spot.

If we move forward, sessions are 55 minutes and held online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

Our first full session is a time to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope might feel different.

There’s no need to have the “right” words.

From there, we move at a pace that fits you. We'll get curious about what you've learned to do to stay safe — and how those patterns show up now in how you relate to yourself and others. We’ll pay attention to what feels most supportive in the moment.

Therapy is collaborative. You don’t have to perform here.

Rates & Insurance

Individual sessions are $185 for 55 minutes.

I am in-network with:

  • Blue Cross of Idaho

  • St. Luke’s Health Plan

  • SelectHealth (SLHP & Commercial plans)

  • PacificSource

  • Mountain Health Co-Op (Engage & Link plans)

  • Aetna (effective June 15, 2026)

If you have a different insurance plan, I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Not sure what your plan covers? Your insurance provider can tell you your out-of-network mental health benefits — it's worth a quick call before reaching out.

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available. You’re welcome to ask about current availability.

Good Faith Estimate & No Surprises Act

If you’re not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected cost of therapy services. You’ll receive this estimate before your first session.

To learn more about your rights under the No Surprises Act, you can visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It’s normal to feel unsure at first. In our early sessions, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping might feel different. There’s no need to have the right words or a clear plan — we’ll figure that out together.

    Many people wait longer than they'd like before reaching out. Wherever you are is a fine place to start.

  • Yes. Research shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues.

    Many clients find that being in their own space actually helps them feel more at ease. As long as you have privacy and a stable internet connection, meaningful work can happen online.

  • That depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients come for a focused season of support, while others choose longer-term work. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful and aligned with your needs.

  • Fit matters. If at any point it doesn’t feel like the right match, we can talk about it openly. I’m always willing to help you find a referral that better supports you.

  • Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and direct in a thoughtful way. I bring warmth and curiosity, and I won't rush you. We'll pay attention to what's happening beneath the surface — not just what you're thinking, but what your body is carrying and what your patterns are telling us — at a pace that feels steady, without pressure to perform or push past yourself.
