Unfurling Ferns FAQs: What to Know About Working With Me

Published on August 6th, 2025.

Welcome.
This FAQ page is here to help orient you to my practice and offerings. The details are current as of August 6th, and I’ll continue updating this space as new services and information become available.

Are you currently accepting new clients?

Not quite yet.
I'm preparing to open my private practice in late 2025, once I complete licensure and begin credentialing with insurance. I plan to begin offering:

ADHD evaluations
Neurodivergent-affirming consultations
Individual therapy for late-identified Autistic and ADHD adults

You can join my waitlist here to be contacted when scheduling opens.

Do you offer therapy or evaluations right now?

Right now, I’m still working at a group practice under supervision and cannot yet offer private services. I will be eligible to see private clients as a licensed provider starting late December 2025. Until then, I’m laying the groundwork — building systems that are thoughtful, accessible, and neurodivergent-affirming.

What kinds of evaluations will you offer?

I will offer ADHD evaluations for adults beginning in December 2025.

Autism evaluations will be added in early 2026, after I complete advanced training for the MIGDAS-2 and supervised consultation. My evaluations are:

Narrative-based, relational, and affirming
Designed to explore strengths and challenges across development
Offered with a collaborative, trauma-informed lens
Gather information from clinical interviews, collateral input, and screening tools
How much do evaluations cost?

I plan to offer evaluations in a structured, accessible way, with the option to:

Pay per session
Bundle services into a flat-rate package
Request a sliding scale (prioritizing those who are BIPOC and/or economically disadvantaged)

Once I am credentialed with insurance, evaluations will be reimbursable—I may be able to offer superbills for reimbursement before then.

Do you take insurance?

I plan to get credentialed with insurances upon licensure and will update.

Beginning late December 2025, I will plan to offer cash-pay options and a limited sliding scale.

Where are you located? Do you offer in-person sessions?

I’m based in Portland, Oregon, and currently plan to offer via telehealth, and will update when I have a physical office for in-person appointments.

Can I work with you if I live outside Oregon?

Due to licensing regulations, I can only offer therapy and evaluations to clients who reside in Oregon.

I may offer general consultations or educational resources in the future that are available more broadly — but therapy and diagnostic services are state-specific.

Are you neurodivergent yourself?

Yes. I’m an Autistic and ADHD therapist with lived experience of navigating systems that weren’t built with us in mind. That shapes everything about how I practice: with gentleness, clear structure, and deep respect for uniqueness.

Can I refer a friend or client to you?

Absolutely. Feel free to send them the waitlist form, or invite them to read the blog to learn more about my services and approach. I am also happy to provide referrals for other providers within Oregon.
