FAQs
What is your availability, session format and hours?
I am currently accepting new clients
I offer sessions in-person in central Boulder, CO and video counseling services online for Colorado residents.
I see clients Tuesday-Friday from 10 am – 5 pm.
What are your rates?
$200 – 60 minute session
$300 – 90 minute session
I do offer sessions that exceed 90 minutes, if this of interest, please feel free to in inquire about specifics & current availability.
Do you accept insurance?
For individuals: I take private pay, Medicaid (CO Access regions 3 & 5), Cigna, Kaiser, United, & Aetna.
For relationships: I only take private pay.
How frequently should I come to therapy?
For new clients, I suggest meeting weekly for the first 8 weeks so we can get to know each other and build momentum in our therapeutic work. After this, we can have a conversation about continuing weekly or going to bi-weekly sessions.
Should I come to therapy for 60 or 90 minutes?
I usually recommend individuals come for 60 minute sessions to start. If you would like to do EMDR or IFS parts work, it can be helpful to have 90 minute sessions in later phases of our work.
If you are a seeking couple or CNM / polyamorous relationship counseling I highly recommend starting with 90 minute sessions for the first 6-8 weeks as this allows more time and space for all people to talk. After 6 weeks, we can discuss whether trying 60 minute sessions may be appropriate.
If you are seeking polyamorous relationship counseling where 3 or more partners will be present during sessions, the session length will need to be 90 minutes minimum.
I do offer sessions that exceed 90 minutes, if this of interest, please feel free to in inquire about specifics and my current availability.
Do you work with Complex-PTSD and PTSD from childhood?
Yes, I do work with Complex PTSD and PTSD from childhood. I often use the umbrella term, ‘Childhood trauma’, on this website because it is inclusive of C-PTSD and PTSD, as well as other attachment traumas (i.e. experiences of emotional neglect, abandonment, rejection, not feeling seen, loved, wanted, understood, etc.) that aren’t always captured in a C-PTSD or PTSD diagnosis. Some people who experienced childhood trauma meet the diagnostic criteria for C-PTSD or PTSD, but some do not.
Whatever happened to you, and however you refer to it (i.e. childhood trauma, C-PTSD, PTSD, attachment wounds / attachment trauma, developmental trauma, relational trauma, etc.) your experience is valid and welcome here.
Is your practice LGBTQIA+ affirming?
Yes! As a member of the queer community myself, I care deeply about creating a therapeutic space where all of your identities are welcomed, honored, validated, & celebrated.
These are a few ways I make my practice a LGBTQIA+ affirming space:
- I ask & use your name & pronouns
- I work to understand your unique experience & do not make assumptions based on my experience or others
- I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your identities & relationships & be celebrated in them
- My office building has all gender single stall bathrooms.
Does your office have all gender / gender neutral bathrooms?
Yes! There are all gender single stall bathrooms at my office.
Which populations do you work with?
I work with women and queer adults who are processing childhood trauma, attachment trauma, complex trauma, developmental trauma, C-PTSD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, & shame. I also offer LGBTQIA+ couple & polyamorous relationship counseling.
Due to being in in a solo private practice, I do not have the capacity to offer crisis counseling. I do not offer substance and addiction counseling services, domestic violence counseling, or clients struggling with bipolar disorders.
Do you offer crisis services?
I do not not offer crisis mental health services.
