Evidence-Based Therapy
I implement evidence-based psychotherapy methods and draw from contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy and third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT), as well as aspects of narrative therapy and family systems therapy, to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new mindsets and stances toward life situations, ineffective patterns, and beliefs.
It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix - therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and/or caretaker(s) alike. But in the end, making incremental adjustments to unhelpful behaviors and coping with challenging beliefs/feelings can bring about beneficial, life-altering results.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you prescribe medication?
I don't prescribe medication. If you're interested in exploring that option, I'm happy to connect you with your primary care doctor or refer you to a psychiatrist.
Are you in-network with my insurance?
I'm not in-network with insurance plans, but I provide a monthly invoice (sometimes called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurer. Some plans reimburse a portion of out-of-network therapy costs — it's worth calling your provider to ask.
What can I expect for the first appointment?
After we schedule the first appointment, the intake paperwork will be emailed to you to complete electronically. This saves us some time from completing forms during the first appointment.
Your first session will last fifty minutes, while subsequent sessions are forty-five minutes in length. For many clients, the first session is met with anxiety, and often clients feel they are jumping around a variety of topics. This is a very typical and normal experience. The first session helps me get a more broad understanding of your most pressing concerns. We will begin to identify what has brought you to this point in your life, your therapy goals, and any other concerns you might have. At the end of this session, together, we will decide on treatment direction and frequency.
