My Approach

When we feel threatened and vulnerable, we resort to desperate behaviors to get us through the day: numbing out with screens or drugs, revving up with anger, and other fight/flight/freeze responses. The problem is that these behaviors can become calcified, and we get stuck in a pattern. What starts out as protective becomes a prison.

I work with teens, adults, and couples to explore new behaviors and develop insights into these psychological snags. The aim is to build executive functioning and emotional intelligence while facilitating the transition to healthy independence. In my conception of therapy, these “upward spirals” are both supported by and promotive of a more loving relationship with the self.

My style can be directive or non-directive, depending on the needs of the client, but is always warm and engaged, with a healthy dash of humor. Below are some of the specific areas and challenges I work with:

Sessions & Fees

I see individuals and couples, typically for weekly 50-minute sessions. Shorter or longer sessions can be accommodated according to needs and preference; I will sometimes recommend 75-minute sessions for couples.

Individuals: 50 minutes | $180

Couples: 50 minutes | $200 or 75 minutes | $300

To keep my practice accessible, I also offer a limited number of lower fee slots.

Payment is made at the time of service using Ivy Pay.
