Individual therapy
Surprising as it may sound, transformation truly comes from slowing down.
“What actually happens in therapy?”
One might imagine lying on a couch talking about a childhood memory. It might happen (save the couch), but we will also rely strongly on what is happening in your life right now.
This process bridges the past to your present and can disrupt old patterns that aren't working anymore.
Therapy can feel heavy at times, but you won't be in it alone. Balancing hard work with humor when appropriate, we'll strive to find the lightness that leads to relief.
“Be patient with all that is unresolved within your heart, and try to love the questions.”
RAINER MARIA RILKE
Relationships can bring out the best in you. But they can bring out your biggest challenges too.
Even healthy relationships can be complicated, and the ways we respond and feel in them can be confusing. Let’s work together to help you understand your relationship dynamics — what they are, why they are, and how to navigate them in a way that feels better inside.
We are more than just our relationships, and so is therapy!
Anxiety & Stress
It’s hard not to feel anxious and stressed these days. Therapy can be a dedicated space in your week to exhale and slow down.
Self-Confidence
Learn to understand and trust your core self. You can trust that quiet voice inside you and let it guide you.
Overcoming Trauma
We will work collaboratively, and you can set the pace. I will provide steady support and gentle challenges as needed to help you feel more like yourself again.
Body Image
Call a truce with your body and start to rebuild a compassionate relationship with it.
My approach
A therapeutic approach I find effective is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).
Just in case the name doesn’t quite capture it for you, let’s look at what AEDP does.
Focuses us in-the-moment during each session to look at cues from your body and your emotions
Allows us to bring out your inner abilities to heal by looking at what is happening in-the-moment
Teaches us through our whole spectrum of emotions, from the uncomfortable ones to the pleasurable ones, from identifying them more clearly to allowing ourselves to feel them more fully
Emphasis on a real relationship between us, as client and therapist, so you will not feel alone in the process
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I accept "out-of-network" benefits. You can contact your insurance company to find out if you have out-of-network benefits for mental health. I am in-network with Anthem BCBS. I can also discuss a sliding scale upon request.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. All of my services are available online through a secure and confidential online platform.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are typically 50-minutes long, once or twice a week depending on your specific needs.
How long does treatment usually take?
It's highly variable and dependent upon your therapeutic goals and personal history. We will work together to create a plan to help you accomplish your goals, and we'll continue to check-in and refine it as we go along.
Do you offer family or couples counseling?
Generally, I offer individual therapy in my practice. I collaborate with a network of therapists with various specialties so I can make referrals to trusted colleagues if needed to support you best.
