Questions about what it’s like to work together?

All sessions at Chrysalis Psychiatry are held via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. You can attend from the privacy of your home, office, or anywhere in Washington State where you feel comfortable. Many patients find that virtual care offers greater ease, flexibility, and emotional safety—especially when life is already busy or overwhelming. Parents are welcome to provide care to children as needed during session; however, I do ask that you attempt to maintain auditory privacy during as much of the sessions as possible. You'll receive a private link before each session, and no technical expertise is required.

At this time, all appointments are fully virtual. This allows me to offer accessible, high-quality care across Washington State while minimizing commute time and logistical barriers for my patients. If in-person sessions become available in the future, I’ll be sure to update my website.

My current fees are:

• 90-minute initial evaluation – $435

• 50-minute follow-up session – $365

• 25-minute medication management session – $275

While I do not accept insurance directly, many patients with out-of-network benefits are able to receive partial reimbursement. I’m happy to provide a superbill upon request for you to submit to your insurance provider.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected costs of your care. If you’re uninsured or choosing not to use insurance, I’ll provide a written estimate of your fees before we begin treatment. This helps ensure transparency and empowers you to make informed decisions about your care.

Your first session is a comprehensive, 90-minute evaluation where we take time to explore your full story—your history, symptoms, strengths, and concerns. We’ll begin to clarify what’s going on and map out your goals. This is not a rushed or checkbox-style intake—it’s a thoughtful, collaborative process where your voice is central from the very beginning.

If we decide that medication is appropriate, we’ll discuss the plan together—based on your goals, your body’s response, and your comfort level. Some people take medication short-term to get through a tough season; others use it long-term as part of ongoing support. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. I also specialize in careful deprescribing for those looking to step down from medication when it’s no longer needed.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come to therapy for a short, focused period to get clarity on a specific issue or decision. Others choose to continue longer-term for deeper work, ongoing support, or to navigate new life transitions as they arise.

We’ll regularly check in about how things are going and whether the support you’re receiving still feels useful. My goal is never to keep you in therapy longer than needed — it’s to help you reach a place where you feel confident, clear, and equipped to move forward on your own terms.

Yes. Everything we discuss in session is strictly confidential and protected by law, with a few exceptions (such as if someone is in immediate danger). Your privacy and safety are my highest priorities, and I work hard to create a space where you can speak freely without fear of judgment or breach of trust.

You can start by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation, where we’ll connect briefly to talk about what you’re looking for and whether it feels like a good fit. From there, I’ll guide you through the intake process and get your first appointment on the calendar. 

Yes — absolutely. Many people come to me feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s actually going on. You don’t need a diagnosis, a specific goal, or a perfectly clear story to reach out. Part of my role is to help you figure that out together — to listen closely, ask the right questions, and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing so we can find a path that fits.

If you’re curious but not quite ready to commit, feel free to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and explore whether we’d be a good fit.

If you are experiencing a psychiatric emergency,, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, which is available 24/7 and free to call or text from anywhere in the U.S.

Because I’m a solo practitioner and do not offer emergency or after-hours care, I may not be the right fit if you’re currently in an acute crisis, were recently hospitalized, or need intensive, frequent support. If you're unsure, I’m happy to talk more during a free consultation to help you determine whether this practice is a good fit for your needs right now.
