Call or text (907) 921-1186 to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation.  

*** This is NOT a crisis number. Calls are returned during business hours (Monday - Thursday). ***

We’ll use this phone consultation time to discuss your counseling needs and desires to see if they align with my offerings. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll gladly recommend other providers.

If we proceed, we’ll schedule a 90-minute initial assessment. You’ll receive an email with a link to set up your secure client portal. In this portal, I’ll ask you to complete the intake documents, including insurance and payment information, prior to your assessment. 

I run a paperless office. As a client you will have access to your own HIPAA compliant secure client portal where all paperwork, video communication and billing processes take place. This portal can be accessed on a computer, iPad or smartphone. 

I am in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross plans. 

My fees are as follows: 

Psychotherapy 30 minutes (16-37 minutes) - $130 

Psychotherapy, 45 minutes (38-52 minutes) - $200

Psychotherapy, 60 minutes (53+ minutes) - $260 

Initial Assessment / Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation (90 minutes) - $300 

No-show fee $50: A no-show fee may be charged for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. This is not reimbursable by insurance. 

If you have in-network insurance (Aetna, Blue Cross): 

Your copay, or coinsurance is due at the time of service and will be charged to the payment method you have on file. In-network fees vary by insurance. Coinsurance and deductible applied will be based on the contracted rate for your insurance. 

For those with Out of Network (OON) benefits or choosing to self-pay: 

The entire fee is due at the time of service and will be charged to the payment method on file. I'm able to provide you with a "superbill" which is a detailed itemized receipt including the necessary information to allow you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement according to your plan.  

Payment methods: 

For all clients, online payment options include all major credit cards, debit, HSA/FSA. You can update and change your preference at any time by logging into your patient portal. 

For in-person sessions I also accept cash and check.

Session length: 

Sessions are typically 50 minutes, though 60 minutes or longer are possible based on need and may be preferred for EMDR sessions. 

The initial Initial Assessment / Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation is scheduled for 90 minutes, to allow enough time to assess your needs, determine the presence/absence of a mental health diagnosis, and collaboratively explore a plan for counseling. Note: A mental health diagnosis is required for insurance billing and payment. 

Counseling appointments are available during the following business hours: 

Monday 9am - 3pm 

Tuesday 9am - 3pm 

Wednesday 11am - 4pm 

Thursday 9am - 3pm 

I currently offer telehealth and in-person counseling for adults in Fairbanks at my office at 3550 Airport Way, Suite 3. 

Telehealth counseling is available for adults across Alaska and is provided in real time via a secure video platform. I do not conduct counseling through texting or SMS messaging. Counseling services can only be provided when you are bodily present within the state of Alaska. I am required to note your physical location at each session in my clinical note for safety reasons. 

Appointments are available by appointment only. 

How often you have a counseling session and how long they continue is entirely determined by your needs, goals and interest in engaging. This can vary widely from 1-3 sessions to address a recent event or acute concern, to weekly or every other week for one to several months. I am comfortable meeting you where you are at with your scheduling needs and will make every effort to communicate availability restrictions, such as vacation in a timely manner.
