Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions about this site or your situation. You can also call or email me to get a feel for whether we are a good match to work together.

Email is the best way to contact me for a quick turnaround, I can usually respond within a few hours.

I return all phone messages within 24 hours.  My phone # is (503) 757-6259.  Although mainly a message line, if you catch me at the right time I'll pick up!  I will ask you about your decision to seek counseling and we can work out a time to meet.

My office is located in Portland, OR, at 3430 SE Belmont Avenue.  This building also houses the Tao of Tea, a small performance arts theater, and an acupuncture practice.  On your first visit you can enter the large front doors and take a seat on one of the benches in the main entry room--my office is upstairs and I'll come down to meet you at our scheduled time.

I offer a sliding fee option, based on your income and my caseload availability. If you have any questions about my fee, please feel free to be forthright and make me an offer—it’s likely we can work something out!

My standard fee for an individual 50 minute session is $80.

My standard fee for a 50 minute couples’ session is $100; an 80 minute couples’ session is $150.

I ask that you give me 24 hours notice if you need to cancel our scheduled session. My policy is to bill full fee for missed sessions when I don't receive 24 hour cancellation notice.
