Therapy for individuals, couples, & non-romantic relationships:
Whether it’s strengthening your relationship with yourself through developing more self-compassion, guiding you in how to communicate more effectively with your partner, or helping you navigate a rough conflict with your best friend, I am here to provide you with non-judgmental support every step of the way.
My clients are often fat folks, queer besties, sex workers, and people experiencing chronic pain or chronic illness. This is a space for you to be seen, heard, and validated in your beauty and complexity.
I will always be transparent with you about the ins and outs of the therapeutic process because I believe that collaboration and consent are vital to creating safety and trust in our time together. I view therapy as a potential cozy space for corrective, reparative experiences that can start to soften clients’ inner experiences. That’s the whole idea behind the name “Soft Spot”: melting away the hardness that our society or trauma forces unto us and, in place, deepening into more of the lovely softness that’s always been there.
You get to delight in the pleasure of being you.
Fees:
$130-180
I use a pay-what-you-can scale for individual and relational sessions. In addition, I offer a limited amount of therapy slots for clients experiencing financial hardship who would not otherwise be able to receive therapy. I believe that everyone deserves care and it’s important to me to help in lifting financial barriers when possible.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
With authorization, I also accept OHP insurance (via CareOregon/Health Share) for individual therapy.
All sessions will take place via HIPAA-compliant Telehealth.
