Practice Policies
I want you to know what to expect before we begin. These policies help me hold a consistent, dependable space for you. If something doesn't feel clear or doesn't work for you, please talk with me; I'm happy to discuss it.
Fees
-
Couples intake (50 minutes, includes a couples workbook and assessment): $250
-
Couples session (50 minutes): $200
-
Couples session (90 minutes): $275
-
Individual session (50 minutes): $150
-
Individual session (90 minutes): $225
-
Premarital therapy: five 50-minute sessions for $900. If you choose to continue, further sessions are $180 each, up to seven more.
Ninety-minute sessions are available when the schedule allows. Please let me know in advance which length you'd like. Fees last updated 8/2026.
Reduced-fee sessions
I keep a limited number of reduced-fee spaces so that cost isn't the only thing standing between someone and support. If you'd like to be considered, please mention it during your free consultation.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service by credit or debit card.
Insurance and superbills
I'm a private-pay practice and don't bill insurance directly. On request, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan. I recommend checking your out-of-network mental health benefits before we begin.
Scheduling and cancellations
Your appointment time is reserved for you. Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
-
Same-day cancellations (late cancellations) and no-shows are charged the full session fee.
-
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the session will be considered a late cancellation, and the full fee applies.
-
If something unexpected happens, please contact me directly. I'll do my best to accommodate extenuating circumstances.
-
After three late cancellations or no-shows, I may refer you to another practice that can better fit your scheduling needs, and your case with Your Mindful Couples and Family Therapy may be closed.
Online sessions (telehealth)
I offer couples and individual therapy by secure, HIPAA-compliant video for clients located in Washington State. Please join from a private space where you won't be interrupted, with a stable internet connection. [If a session is interrupted by technology, we'll reconnect by phone at 253-234-5373 or reschedule. Family sessions are offered in person only.
Confidentiality
What you share in therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions, such as risk of serious harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or a court order. I'll review confidentiality and its limits with you in detail at your first session. In couples therapy, I'll also explain how I handle information shared by one partner.
Contact between sessions
I check messages daily and aim to respond within 24 hours. I'm not able to offer immediate responses or emergency support between sessions.
In an emergency
If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else:
-
Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
-
Pierce County Crisis Line: 1-800-576-7764
-
Kitsap County Crisis Line: 1-360-479-3033

Or call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room
Who I'm not the best fit for
I don't provide couples therapy when there is active drug use or domestic violence in the relationship. If that's your situation, I'd be glad to help you find a clinician who does.
