Once you request an appointment, I’ll send you a link to review and complete your intake paperwork. This must be completed to secure your spot.

For online sessions we’ll meet on my secure therapy platform, SimplePractice. You’ll receive a reminder email or text with the meeting link 48 hours before your appointment. Before our session, check in a few minutes early. If you're meeting as a couple, position your camera so I can see both of you.  When you log in, you’ll enter a virtual waiting room. At our scheduled time, I’ll start the session.

For in-person sessions, we’ll meet at my Shoreview office. Please arrive a few minutes early and help yourself to refreshments in the waiting room. The waiting room is private. At our scheduled time, I’ll come get you for your appointment.

I offer both, in-person and online therapy.
For in-person sessions we’ll meet in my Shoreview office.
For online sessions we’ll meet through a secure video platform.

Online therapy provides the same structured, research-based approach as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of meeting from your own space. We connect through a secure video platform, ensuring privacy and confidentiality. You and your partner can join from the same location or separate ones, as long as you’re both physically in Minnesota. I actively facilitate discussions and help you navigate challenges in your relationship just as I do for in-person sessions. Many couples find online therapy just as effective due to the comfort of being in their own environment and added privacy.

Your scheduled sessions are your financial responsibility whether or not you attend them. Full fee is charged. If you cancel with at least 24-hour notice, I offer the option to reschedule within 3 weeks.

Choosing a private pay provider for couples, individual and EMDR therapy provides you with much greater privacy, flexibility in session length, frequency and structure. It also removes the need for sharing any diagnosis with outside parties (e.g. insurance companies) unless you choose to do so.

I don’t accept insurance. This allows me to focus fully on your care, and provides much greater privacy; flexibility in session length, frequency, and structure; and no need for a diagnosis.

If using out-of-network insurance, a mental health diagnosis is required. In couples therapy this means that one of the partners carries the diagnosis. Superbills are provided upon request. (Steps to check your out-of-network benefits. )
