Scope of Services

I offer both clinical and non-clinical services. Below is a description of each:

Clinical Counseling Services

As a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington, I offer clinical counseling services to individuals seeking support for mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other emotional or psychological challenges. These services fall within the scope of licensed mental health treatment and are provided in accordance with state law, professional ethical standards, and confidentiality requirements.

Clinical counseling may be eligible for insurance reimbursement, depending on your insurance plan and coverage. Upon request, I can provide statements of service (often referred to as "superbills") for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider.

Non-Clinical Consulting Services

In addition to clinical work, I offer non-clinical consulting services focused on personal development, relational support, life transitions, leadership, and faith-informed guidance. These services are designed to support overall well-being and growth but do not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.

Consulting sessions are not considered psychotherapy and are not eligible for insurance reimbursement. Because these services fall outside the scope of clinical mental health care, I cannot provide a statement of services (superbill) for insurance purposes. Payment for consulting services is the responsibility of the client.

My non-clinical consulting work draws from over 25 years of experience in ministry, pastoral care, and mentoring. It is reflective, supportive, and growth-oriented, but it is not a substitute for mental health counseling.
