My approach to psychotherapy is to provide a safe, respectful environment in which you are able to discover new insights into yourself that can lead to change and transformation. As a therapist, my style is warm, curious and engaging. The goal of our work together is symptom relief, emotional growth, and personal integration. I see patients who seek  individual therapy for a variety of reasons including:

• Depression, sadness, loneliness
• Anxiety, worry, panic
• Low self-esteem or self-worth
• Trauma and abuse
• Grief and loss
• Troublesome patterns in your life
• Alcohol or substance abuse or problem drinking behavior
• Eating and body image issues
• Sexual issues
• Relationship difficulties
• Family of origin issues
• LGBTQ issues
• Career issues
• Life transitions
• Personal growth
• Recovery (developing creative outlets, understanding triggers)

My fee for individual therapy is $150 for a 50 minute session. Couples therapy sessions are $200 for each 75 minute session. Fees for services such as written reports, extensive between-session telephone contacts, letters and/or written professional correspondence, and professional consultations will be established and charged based on my hourly rate. 

As an out-of-network provider, my practice operates on a fee-for-service basis, which means I do not deal directly with your insurance company. I will provide you with a receipt for services, which you may be able to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. It is your responsibility to be informed of your policy’s benefits. Problems or disputes with your insurance company regarding coverage and payment for services are your responsibility to resolve. The contract is between you and the insurance company, so you do need to understand the terms of your policy agreement.
