WHAT ARE THE LETTERS AFTER YOUR NAME?
It stands for "Licensed Mental Health Counselor," which means I've completed my masters degree in mental health counseling and have a license with the state if Washington.

DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
I do not bill insurance and am considered Out of Network. However, I will provide a receipt and many insurance plans have a claim form to submit for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance on what the process is for you and how much they may cover.
DO YOU SEE CLIENTS ON A SLIDING SCALE?
Yes, I do. I reserve Wednesdays for sliding scale clients through Open Path Collective. There's a one-time fee of $59, and you'll gain access to all practitioners who have a listing.

DO YOU OFFER IN-PERSON SESSIONS?
At this time, I am not taking on any additional in-person clients. I see clients through a HIPAA compliant website (Doxy.me) that does not require any downloads.
DO YOU SEE CLIENTS ONLINE?
I do see clients online, though only Washington State residents. That's due to the licensing requirements in the USA; each state has their own licensing board. I use a HIPAA compliant server to see clients via a video interface.
