What can I expect in the first session?

The first session is a 55-minute intake assessment where we’ll explore your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. We’ll also discuss a preliminary diagnosis, which may be required if you are using insurance.

How long are sessions and how often will we meet?

Standard therapy sessions are 55 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum, though frequency may shift over time based on your needs and goals.

Do you accept insurance? What are your fees?

I am currently in the process of getting paneled with multiple insurance providers; however, at this time I only accept private pay clients. Please review my insurance and fees section for more information regarding this.

Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?

All sessions are currently offered virtually to provide accessible, flexible care.

Do you only work with clients in the perinatal period?

While I specialize in perinatal mental health, I also work with individuals navigating identity shifts, grief, trauma, and life transitions outside of the perinatal experience.

What is your approach to therapy?

My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed care. I draw from interpersonal therapy, EMDR, schema therapy, CBT, DBT and narrative therapy to support your healing in a collaborative and affirming space.

Do you offer clinical supervision?

Yes. I am an Oregon Board-approved supervisor offering individual supervision for CSWAs working toward licensure. Please review my services section for more information regarding this.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. What you share in therapy stays private, with a few legal exceptions related to safety. We’ll review confidentiality in more detail during our first session.

What states are you licensed to practice in?

I am licensed to provide services in the state of Oregon. Per the licensing regulations, the client must reside in the state to receive services and must physically be in that state at the time of session, even for a virtual session. 

What if I have an urgent need to require immediate mental health care?

Due to the limitations of private practice, Third Space Psychotherapy is not able to provide crisis or emergency services. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also contact a crisis line such as the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, or text “HELLO” to 741741 to connect with the Crisis Text Line. Below is also a link to resources in Oregon.
