Physical Therapy

  • I believe in providing each and every individual the highest quality of service throughout your course of treatment.

    I believe the highest care is delivered in a one-on-one setting, so you’ll see me for each treatment and will never be passed off to an aide or tech throughout the course of your care.

    I take the whole individual (body and mind) into consideration with each and every treatment being highly individualized to meet your specific needs and guide you as you work toward your unique goals.

    All treatments/sessions take place in a private treatment and gym space.

  • No, you don’t!* Oregon is a “Direct Access” state meaning you do not need to see a physician prior to being seen in physical therapy.

    If I believe you need to be seen by a physician, I will refer you to one.

    *Note: Some insurance companies/plans require a physician referral or prescription for coverage of physical therapy services. It is always in your best interest to contact your insurance to determine your specific physical therapy coverage.

  • Please wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in and will allow for easy access to the area of treatment.

  • Physical therapy is a cost-effective treatment option for overcoming pain and improving function. Many insurance plans cover the majority of your physical therapy treatment, though you may be responsible to pay a percentage (copay or co-insurance) or deductible.

    I’m currently contracted as an in-network provider with the following insurance companies:

    BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon

    PacificSource

    It is always in your best interest to contact your insurance company to understand your specific physical therapy benefits.

  • You may contact me and I will happily do my best to help you determine your insurance coverage.

    You may also reach out to your insurance company through member/customer service to better understand your individual benefits.

  • Most likely, yes.

    If I’m not contracted with your insurance company, I offer Self-Pay pricing.

    Upon request, I will provide you with a detailed receipt called a “superbill” which you can submit to your insurance for “out-of-network” reimbursement. The best way to understand your out-of-network benefits is to call your insurance company and use this SCRIPT to assist you with collecting benefits information.

    Head HERE for details regarding self-pay rates.

  • I am not a participating provider with Medicare, therefore I cannot provide you with physical therapy treatment.

    That being said, I would be more than happy to direct you to a physical therapy provider accepting Medicare in your area.

    If you are seeking coaching or would like to work with me to improve your mobility or strength I would be happy to see you on a self-pay basis.

    Please contact me to discuss what you are looking for and how I might be able to help.

  • You may pay with cash, check, Venmo, FSA/HSA, or credit card.

  • You can schedule online, by email, or by phone.

FAQs

Coaching

  • Life Coaching, to me, is about empowering you to tap into your own inner wisdom to create more clarity, presence, and self-trust. Together, we co-create a space for you to slow down and uncover your steps to move from where you are now too where you want to be.

    The space we create is non-judgmental, curiosity-filled, and empowering. My superpower as a coach is deep listening, so you’ll have space to be heard and I’ll reflect back to you what you already know to be true (but maybe haven’t been able to hear from yourself)!

    You’ll have a space in which you can get clear on your vision or dream, discover what you want and how you want to feel, and decide on the next right step.

    Coaching often involves questioning your thoughts in a way that allows you to decide if they’re serving you, helping you get “unstuck,” and providing accountability to take action to work toward your dreams.

    Life Coaching is NOT…

    Therapy

    I am not a mental health provider and am not qualified to help with processing big trauma.

    Mentoring or Consulting

    The focus in coaching is not on teaching, advising, or strategy.

    There may be times in which I’ll offer my own experiences as a story that helps you with perspective if you’ve agreed to my sharing that experience or I may offer a tool or practice that I find to be particularly helpful for supporting what you’re processing through.

    Friendship

    A coaching relationship should promote the building of rapport AND I will still hold a space of non-judgment and accountability for you.

    Venting Sessions

    Sometimes verbal processing or sitting in an emotion needs to happen and will if that’s what you need for that session.

    If that’s not supportive, however, I can help you explore what you want and how you want to proceed as you process whatever it is you brought to the session.

    Cheerleading

    I’ll challenge you to grow AND will affirm your strengths/decisions as a way to help you see all the ways in which you have created your success.

  • When you work with me, it looks little bit like this…

    Grounding practice: Creating space to come into the present moment

    Desire for the session: What’s on your heart or mind to explore?

    Possibility: Did something emerge during our conversation as a step you’d like to take?

    Integration: What do you want to remember from our conversation?

  • All coaching sessions are conducted virtually.

  • Have a good internet connection.

    Block 60-minutes for your session.

    Be in a non-distracted environment.

    Come with an idea of what you’d like to focus on for the session.

    Be ready and willing to be coached!

  • You will have the autonomy to decide what your next step is.

    I won’t “assign” you homework to work on between sessions, though I can help you get clear on what you’d like to commit to if that’s supportive.

  • Schedule a connection call!

    This connection call will allow us to get to know each other, give you some insights and a feeling of what it’s like to work with me, and give me an idea of what you’re looking for.

    We'll chat about what has you wanting to have a conversation with me, what you want to get out of working together, what you've tried before, and what you want your life to look and feel like.

    We'll talk about a plan and how our work might impact you and those in your life.

    My wholehearted goal is that you leave the conversation feeling grounded in your “yes,” “no,” or “not right now.”

  • You can schedule online or by email.
