Online Therapy for Adults in Washington, Oregon, and California
Online Therapy for the Adult Children of Borderline and Narcissistic Parents as well as Adults Struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Hi! I’m Torie
A Supportive and Direct Therapist with a Decent Sense of Humor
I work with amazing clients who reach out for not only support but guidance. Yes, having a space to speak freely about what you’re going through is helpful, but in my opinion, it’s simply not enough.
In order to truly feel better and reduce the stress in your life, you need to learn different, more effective ways of coping. I’m committed to helping you do that.
You should know, I’m definitely not the listen and nod kind of therapist. And, if you’re looking for that, I’m probably not the right therapist for you. But, if you’re looking for a nonjudgemental therapist who will give you direct and honest feedback, let’s talk.
My passion is working with adults who have a parent with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
Growing up with an emotionally immature parent often contributes to anxiousness, the deep rooted belief that other people’s needs should come before your own, and a walking on eggshells feeling that doesn’t automatically disappear when you become an adult.
Let’s Learn to Set Boundaries with Parents, Family and, well, everyone!
While working together, I’ll help you learn how to manage your anxiety symptoms more effectively, create healthier boundaries in your life, and grieve the parent that you didn’t have. I’ll also help you explore what relationship, if any, you’d like to have with your parent now, and how to go about maintaining your boundaries when they are disregarded and ignored.
Healing From a Parent with BPD or NPD
In order for therapy to truly help, it’s important to be consistent. Because I am an online therapist and no driving time to or from therapy is necessary, attending weekly therapy appointments is much more realistic. I often meet with clients on their lunch break or during the work day since all that is needed is a private space, a computer, and a strong internet connection.
It’s so nice to meet you.
It can be hard to pick a therapist without actually interacting with them. Here’s a quick little video of me in my online therapy office to give you a better idea of who you’ll be talking with during our therapy sessions.

What you should know about working with me.
My approach to online anxiety, depression, and OCD therapy.
-
Ideally, we will meet weekly for at least the first six months of working together.
While I strongly believe in the importance of meeting weekly for at least the first several months of therapy, I also understand the very real financial barriers to participating in therapy.
At a minimum, I believe biweekly sessions (every other week) of therapy are necessary to help you make meaningful progress in therapy.
-
Most of my clients meet with me for at least a year, while I meet with many clients for several years. During this time we typically reduce the frequency of our sessions until you feel confident navigating the stressors in your life independently.
It is my opinion that you should be in therapy as long as therapy is helpful for you. When you feel that you have achieved what you wanted to, we should discuss terminating treatment (this is a good thing!).
-
I really love being a therapist, and my goal is to help you get exactly what you want out of therapy. I’ll always share my honest thoughts with you, and challenge you to think about things through a different lens.
I’ll be your biggest cheerleader throughout the process while holding you accountable to yourself and your goals. My desire is to help you get to a place where you feel ready to leave therapy and also recognize when it might be helpful to return to therapy in the future.
When you’re looking for a therapist, the best advice I can give you is to ask questions, then go with your gut.
Fees and Insurance
-
Individual online therapy session: $225
-
No, but I can provide you with a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for partial session reimbursement in you have out-of-network mental health benefits.
You can learn more about using your out-of-network benefits by clicking here.
-
I have a limited number of reduced fee spots in my practice that are available to clients who are unable to afford my full session fee.
I request all clients with a reduced fee spot notify me if/when their financial situation changes and increase their fee up to my full session fee, so I can open up another spot to a client who would be otherwise unable to work with me.
Unfortunately, all of my reduced fee spots are currently full.
-
No problem! I’ll only provide a superbill if you request one.
Online Therapy for Depression, OCD, Anxiety, and Adult Children of Parents With BPD
Available in Washington, Oregon, & California
Online therapy is so much more convenient than in-person therapy. There’s no traffic to fight, no parking to search for, and way less time is needed to carve out of your work day. And, not only is it more convenient- it’s just as effective as in-person therapy for all of the issues I treat in my practice. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, online therapy is a great option for you!
