My Approach
I integrate various therapy approaches to tailor treatment for each individual. I apply psychoanalytic, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed principles to understand how we adapt to our earliest family, cultural, and systemic environments. I view therapy as a place to deepen insight into how these adaptations may come to limit us. Many of us find that intellectually understanding our unhelpful patterns does not always stop us from repeating them. I believe change requires attention to the emotional and bodily level of our experience. Thus, I integrate emotion-focused and somatic approaches to help individuals regulate distress, process emotional pain, and restore a sense of inner safety, ease, and vitality. I also integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help individuals rewire unhelpful thought patterns and expand their toolbox of effective coping skills.
My style is active and involves consistent attention to the therapeutic relationship. I encourage exploration of the process as we build trust, work as a team, and recalibrate along the way. This process creates opportunities for practicing more authentic, effective ways of being and connecting.
Policies and Fees
Insurance
I am considered out of network (OON) with all private insurances. If your insurance coverage offers OON coverage, I will provide the necessary paperwork for you to submit claims for reimbursement of part of the therapy fee.
Rates
During an initial phone consultation, I will share information about my current rates for individual and couples therapy. In some cases, I may be able to offer a sliding scale rate. If cost is a barrier, I will do my best to help you locate therapy services that are accessible to you.
How Can I Learn More or Get Started?
Therapy is a significant investment. I will work with you throughout the initial consultation phase to answer all of your questions and determine whether we are the right match for your goals.
Email or call to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your therapy goals and important logistics, including rates, scheduling, etc. After this, we can schedule an initial session to discuss your history, current challenges, and goals. Sometimes, it can take several sessions for both of us to assess our fit. If we determine that we are not a match, I can support you in finding alternative therapy options.
