Guides and Answers
Some questions need more than a sentence. These guides are the longer answers, written so you can read them at your own pace before you ever pick up the phone.
How to Use These Guides
Looking for a therapist can be tiring. You may be comparing names on a list, trying to work out what a credential means, wondering whether your insurance will help, or simply trying to picture what happens when you walk through the door. These pages are meant to take some of that weight off. Each one answers a single question as plainly as I can.
Some of these pages exist to say clearly what I do not provide. I do not diagnose or assess autism, I do not test for ADHD, and I do not provide ABA. People search for those things every day, and I would rather tell you honestly up front than have you find out after a phone call. Those pages also explain what I do offer, and where you might look for the thing you need.
None of this replaces a conversation. If something here raises a question, or you are not sure whether I am the right fit, bring it to the free 30-minute call. That call is also where we can talk about fees, format and timing for your situation. I see people in person in Eugene and by telehealth anywhere in Oregon.
These guides are general information, not advice about your particular situation, and reading them does not create a therapy relationship. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

Therapy and support only. These pages explain the difference between what I offer and what other professionals provide, so you can find the right place for each need.

A short conversation so I can hear what is going on and we can decide together whether this is the right room for it.
