Couples Therapy
I hold on to the whole picture as each individual learns, shares and grows in session. My unique approach to scheduling and session structure is aimed to provide you with guidance and space while healing from conflict and past hurts.
I assist clients in understanding how a relationship changes over time and that you do not need to lose yourself in the process. I support each partner as they learn to share their true thoughts, feelings, and desires.
My hope is that you will create clear ways to connect with and discover admiration for yourself and each other.
Couples Therapy FAQs
How do you schedule couples therapy?
I offer 90 minute sessions on an every other week basis to couples, which allows more ease in scheduling, depth of understanding and putting insight into action in session, and time to put quality work in between sessions.
​
Other benefits of in-person sessions include being outside of your usual environment so you can experience the "same old" conversations in a new environment and in a new way.
Bi-weekly sessions are also more cost effective than weekly sessions despite the longer session length.
Do you see clients in-person?
Yes! I offer in person sessions to couples on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons/evenings in Pioneer Square, Seattle at the Shelterwood Collective.
All other sessions are conducted via telehealth across Washington and Oregon State.​​
​
Current In-Person Openings for Couples:
Every other Wednesday at 6:30p
Every other Thursday at 2p, 4p, 6p

How long will we be in couples therapy?
Typically, when both partners are focused on their goals, we can get a lot of solid work done in 8-10 sessions. At this juncture, I will be happy to share my understanding of what would be most supportive for you moving forward.
​
Many couples decide to continue working longer term through specific topics that have been difficult over the years or to move into work on their sex life & intimacy. ​
Do you accept insurance?
I am an Out of Network Provider and am unable to bill insurance. You will receive a superbill each time we meet so you can submit claims to your insurance as you go.
You will want to know about your insurance benefits before we begin meeting if you plan to submit claims.​ I recommend using this "Checking Your Coverage to See an Out-of-Network Therapist" questionnaire to learn more about your benefits as it relates to couples therapy.
What is your rate for couples therapy?
My rate for a 90-minute couples therapy session is $425. I also offer sliding scale rates when available, so please inquire if you would like to be considered.
​
You may be speaking to other therapists who are offering shorter 50-minute sessions. Here is how you can compare our rates. If you prorate my 90-minute session to 50-minutes, the rate would be $235.
​
I believe that longer, less frequent sessions are more effective clinically and more cost effective as well. We will meet about twice a month ($850/mo) versus weekly ($940/mo).
How do we pay for session?
I use a HIPAA Compliant app for payment called IVY PAY. After our first session, you will receive a text with a link to a portal which will allow you to put a payment card on file and to authorize automatic charges. If you have an HSA/FSA, don’t forget that you can use these pre-tax dollars for therapy services!
​
You can learn about my payment policies in the Informed Consent form as well.
