I provide psychotherapy to individuals, ages 16 and up. Put simply, our work together will consist of you sharing what you have to say, with me responding to what I hear. I believe therapy should be the place where you can say the things you can't say elsewhere. In working with me, I will invite you to speak your mind, and together we will find out what comes of it. In our time together, and through this back and forth of listening and responding, we will hopefully move closer to a better understanding of you, your world, and your relationships so that you might interact with these in a more authentic, life-giving way.
Instead of offering initial consultations, I offer first sessions. If you decide you would like to continue our work together, you'll owe the fee. If either one of us decides we are not a good fit, you'll owe nothing.
I received my Master of Arts in Psychology from Seattle University where I was trained in existential-phenomenology, a lens that attempts to understand human experience from a basis of how an individual sees themselves in the world, and in how an individual makes meaning in their life.
Before starting my own therapy practice, I interned at a community mental health agency working with children and families. Before this, I volunteered as a crisis phone worker, to eventually work as a crisis intervention specialist. I also have a number of years of working with children on the autism spectrum.
I am a gay man and I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I am especially drawn towards working with people who have struggled to find acceptance among their communities, as well as with people who are in the process of finding out what is true, whether this is of themselves, their world, or their existence.
My fee is $145 per 55 minute individual session. As I believe everyone should have access to therapy, I offer a number of sliding scale rates to those with limited income when available. If you are in need of a lower fee, please bring this to my attention in our first meeting.
I am not paneled with any insurance companies at this time, but I can provide you with monthly statements to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. If you are unsure about whether or not you will be reimbursed, reach out to me and I can provide questions you can ask your insurance company.
If you need to cancel our appointment, please try to do so at least 48 hours prior to the session. If you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice or do not show up to the session, you will be charged for the session, emergencies excluded.
I offer services both in-person and via telehealth.
