Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! You have the option to do therapy in person at my office or entirely online via Zoom.

Or you can do a combination of the two – sometimes in person, sometimes online. It’s totally up to you!

I am in the office in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12pm – 8pm.

I am available for online sessions from 10:30am – 5:30pm throughout the week.

Each session is 55 minutes.

You can use your “out-of-network” (OON) coverage for our sessions. I use a service called Mentaya that quickly calculates your OON reimbursement rate. Many clients get 50% of their money back.

I can provide you with a “Superbill,” a document listing our sessions together and the cost paid. You submit this to your insurance company, and they send you money to pay for part of it. This has worked well for my clients so far.

If you don’t want to deal with the insurance company at all, you can have Mentaya send your Superbill to your carrier directly for a 5% fee.

I work with younger and older adults.

There’s no wrong way to do therapy! You get to be yourself and share with me whatever you want.

I might direct you toward your feelings, ask questions, or honor your story with supportive listening.

I use a type of somatic therapy called Hakomi . I also employ techniques from mindfulness practice and Buddhist psychology.

Additionally, I use methods from Internal Family Systems Therapy, Client-Centered Psychotherapy, and Gestalt Psychotherapy.

I do not. As a mental health counselor, I am not trained to do that.

For medication, I would refer you to a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

No, of course not! If, at any time, for any reason, you decide you want to stop therapy, I will support you in your decision.

Or, if you decide you would like a different type of therapist, psychiatrist, or other healing service, I can help you find someone who would be a good fit for you.

I have a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University.

I’ve worked as a therapist and run mindfulness groups for faculty and staff at the University of Colorado Boulder.

My training in mindfulness consists of 12 silent meditation retreat trainings, each ranging from 7 to 30 days in length – plus a committed, years-long daily practice.

I have training in IFS-informed Gestalt Psychotherapy and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy.

I also have deep experience working with psychedelic medicine, particularly Ayahuasca. I am not a shaman or a psychedelic therapist, but I do offer psychedelic integration for clients working with these medicines in other contexts.

Yes, they do! I see a therapist, and my therapist has a therapist! It’s a therapist within a therapist within a therapist (like the movie “Inception.”)

But seriously – I love doing my own therapy. Healing is infinite!
