AREAS OF SPECIALTY
My eclectic background and experience allows me to tailor my work in every session to help clients work towards their goals. My approach works well with all types of adults, including: self-doubters, high-achievers, trauma survivors, perfectionists, and those seeking personal growth or a respite from the public spot light.
Fees & Payments
Working with a therapist can help you remove barriers preventing your full enjoyment of the life you deserve by improving self-esteem, level of happiness, mental and emotional health, and relationships. Whether you are seeking solution-based therapy (short term) such as EMDR and CBT or longer term therapy to gain understanding of the root causes of discomfort or personal growth my first priority is to co-create goals based on your needs and desires.

Additional Information
-
Payments are accepted by Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
-
I do not work directly with insurance panels, though I offer monthly superbills for those with insurance coverage for out of network providers. Please check with your insurance carrier to see if your coverage may include this option.
By accepting private-pay only, I protect the direct therapist client relationship and avoid insurance company policies such as the need for a DSM mental diagnosis interfering with our work together. Most of my clients do not have a diagnosable illness under the DSM. They are healthy individuals who are going through a difficult time and want some extra support.
-
Understanding that everyone’s financial situation and therapy needs are different, I am happy to discuss your situation to see if we can reach a mutually agreeable arrangement. Please schedule a free introductory consultation to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit for working together.
-
To avoid being charged the full session fee, I require 24 hours notice of cancellation.
