HOW DO I KNOW IF COUNSELING IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Individuals decide to enter counseling for a variety of reasons. One thing that all clients have in common is courage. It takes tremendous courage to reach out and seek support on behalf of making change or healing from painful life experiences. Counseling is a relational experience that opens up an exploration of emotions (both painful and positive), memories and interpersonal dynamics. Therapy is most effective when both client and counselor feel comfortable in the relationship, trust in the process and come in ready to work on concerns. I honor open dialogue and feedback about what feels helpful and what does not; in the case that either of us believes our relationship is not as helpful as it could be, I am happy to make a referral.

WHERE IS YOUR OFFICE LOCATED? ARE YOU DOING TELEHEALTH?
My office is located at 377 SW Century Dr. #206, Bend, OR 97702. I currently see clients in-person with additional Covid safety protocol in place, as well as via telehealth on a secure video platform.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
Counseling sessions range from $130 – $250 for a 55-90 minute session, depending on service.
HOW DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT?
I accept cash, check, and credit card, Health Savings Accounts, and reimbursements from in-network insurance panels.
WHAT INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE YOU IN-NETWORK WITH?
I am an In-Network provider with:
- First Choice Health Network PPO
- PacificSource Commercial Plans
- PacificSource Community Solutions (Oregon Health Plan | Medicaid)
- Moda
- Providence
- Regence BCBS
I am currently considered an Out-of-Network Provider for other insurance plans, and can submit bills on your behalf, but benefits may look different than with in-network providers (sometimes covering up to 70% of sessions). You can check with insurance coverage by asking your insurance carrier:
- Do I have Out-of-Network mental health insurance benefits?
- Do I have a deductible that must be met?
- Will I have a co-payment?
- How many sessions are covered?
Please call me if you have any additional questions about health insurance coverage and I would be happy to help.
Good Faith Estimate or No Surprises Act
What is the No Surprises Act or a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
