FAQs
Have questions about couples therapy?
-
I do not accept insurance and am not in-network with any insurance panels.
-
I am currently able to accept new clients for intensive couple therapy only. If you live in one of my license states (OR, CA, or MN) an intensive can take place virtually. Otherwise, intensives must take place in-person in Portland, Oregon.
I do not have availability for ongoing clients outside of intensives at this time.
-
I do not offer virtual therapy to clients who reside outside of the states where I am licensed. Some therapists are willing to work with you outside of their license as a “coach,” but this is not a service I provide.
If you feel strongly that I am the right fit for you and are willing to travel for a couple therapy intensive, reach out to discuss that option! -

Although high conflict relationships are a specialty area for me, I support couples with diverse struggles. In addition to being a high conflict specialist, I am an AASECT certified sex therapist and frequently support couples in addressing sexual concerns. Please feel free to reach out even if you’re not high conflict!
