Humboldt county residents: my rates reflect specialized training not widely available in this region — and I know the economic realities of a remote and rural community deserve real consideration.

Insurance & Payment
I am an out-of-network provider. I do not bill insurance directly.
I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement through your out-of-network mental health benefits. Before reaching out, it may be worth calling the member services number on your insurance card and asking: "Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? What is my deductible and reimbursement rate?"
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Therapy is a licensed clinical service, available only to California residents, under state licensing law. Coaching is a separate, non-clinical offering, available to individuals, couples, and sex workers anywhere — nationally and internationally — for working on relationships, business, identity, or the shape of a life that doesn’t fit conventional models. These are two distinct frameworks with different ethical and legal boundaries. I’ll always be clear with you about which one we’re working in, and what that means for our work together.
-
Yes — through coaching and consultation, which aren't bound by California licensing. If what you need is psychotherapy rather than coaching I'll tell you honestly and help you find the right referral.
-
Insurance does not allow me to accept sliding scale; an important way I meet the needs of varying financial realities within my practice. In addition, many clients I work with often prefer the privacy of not having a diagnostic code in their permanent medical record. It also allows me to work with the full complexity of what you bring rather than what an insurance company will reimburse; many do not cover couples therapy or recommended session lengths for depth work.
-
Yes. Sessions are eligible for payment with Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, since psychotherapy is a qualified medical expense. I can provide documentation if your provider requires it for reimbursement or verification.
-
Yes. I am currently accepting new clients for in-person therapy in Arcata and telehealth throughout California. Coaching and consultation are available worldwide.
