I use an integrative and individually tailored approach with my clients, regardless of age, gender, cultural or ethnic background, or presenting problem. My goal first and foremost is to meet you where you are at to form a trusting relationship. My academic background and trainings include Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I look at each individual in a holistic context, having been significantly influenced and shaped by family history, experiences, and relationships both past and present. While I know that resolving childhood and past relationship wounds can be a beneficial focal point of therapy; I believe that focusing on the present and future are equally as important in order to manifest change.

Naturally in this field of work, relationships are an integral component, however, I strongly believe that your relationship with yourself (including how you talk to and treat yourself) is one of the most important starting points, as it directly affects self-esteem, self-image, attachment style, inter-personal relationships, and all aspects of physical and mental health.  

As mentioned, I am not strictly committed to a specific approach or agenda with any client. As each person has unique perspectives, life experiences, priorities, and needs, I view therapy as a collaborative process, working together to determine specific treatment goals.

Areas of focus and training include:

  • Self Harm and Suicidal Ideation

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Identity Formation

  • Self-Image

FEES:

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and typically occur on a weekly basis, or every two or three weeks. I also offer Parent and Loved One Support/Coaching Sessions. The fee per session is $200-225. I have a limited number of reduced-fee spots available for those who need it. I accept cash, personal checks, or credit cards. You will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held.

I am an out of network provider, and can provide you with a Superbill to submit to insurance at the end of each month. I encourage you to call your insurance provider and ask what the out of network mental health coverage is. That way, you will know if they will reimburse a percentage of your sessions.
