Another human on this planet alongside you. I have strengths and weaknesses, fears and aspirations. I try to accept all of them. As a therapist my goal is to help you do the same- accept the reality of who you are so that you don't have to suffer in a grief over who you "should have been".
People seek therapy to make changes in their lives, usually at the end of a roadblock when thinking doesn't help anymore. In my work, identifying that change as specifically as possible is the first step. I practice from a psychodynamic lens and use EMDR to address trauma. If you are interested in learning about either mode of therapy, you can find out more below.

A 15-minute consultation call is a brief, straightforward chat to get an understanding of your difficulties. You'll be asked to share a little about what’s been bothering you and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. I'll explain my approach and how we might be able to overcome some of these issues together. I'll also try to answer any questions you have about the process. It’s a short, focused talk to see if this feels like a good fit before moving forward.
In your first session, we’ll start by discussing what specifically has been troubling you and more specific goals of therapy. Information from your past might come up in this process which is completely normal. The goal of the first session, though, is to get as clear a picture as possible on what's bothering you now we can work together help the person sitting across from me. In short- we'll be developing common understanding of how I can help you.
Most client's I work with meet me for sessions between 60-90 minutes. Sometimes an hour is all someone has time for, and is enough time to still see results. For people who would like to see change at a quicker pace, 90 minutes would be the option.
One-hour sessions: $150
Ninety-minute sessions: $225
The number of therapy sessions you'll need can vary depending on your goals, the issues you're facing, and how quickly you want to see progress. Some people find benefit in just a few sessions, while others may prefer ongoing support over a longer period. During our work together, we can regularly check in on how you're feeling about the process and make adjustments as needed. Ultimately, it's a flexible journey, and we can decide together what feels right at each stage.
I do not bill insurance so I can focus fully on your individual needs without session limits, mandated diagnoses, or extra paperwork that can affect your care. Working privately allows me to protect your confidentiality and tailor treatment plans based solely on clinical judgment and your goals. I provide superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement if you choose.
I offer telehealth sessions only at this time.
