Individual Therapy

I help clients to sustain compassionate relationships to themselves and others.

In individual therapy I hope to create an environment of compassion, respect, safety and honesty where you have space to build insight and access your own healing potential. I deeply respect the courage that it takes to show up for this work and honor each client as you bravely embark on your healing journey.

In my individual work with clients, above all, my therapeutic style is trauma-informed, meaning, instead of asking “what is wrong with you, what are your symptoms?” I seek to understand “what happened to you— how did you learn to cope this way?” Some of our greatest sources of pain are also our most enduring strengths. Through individual therapy work I help clients to disrupt patterns of distress and strengthen their ability to live meaningfully and joyfully.

 

I use a combination of therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I interweave these treatments for each client in a way that is unique to their needs and goals.

What To Expect

$160 per 55-minute session.

I am not a participating provider with any insurance companies. I am able to provide clients with a receipt (superbill) of our sessions so that you can submit our sessions for reimbursement through your insurance plan. In order to see how much your plan would reimburse for sessions, look at our benefits for Out-of Network providers. Some insurance plans will reimburse up to 60-80% of our sessions, while some do not offer reimbursement for out-of-network services.

Throughout my time as a practitioner, I have had the opportunity to work with clients of various backgrounds and identities. I greatly value all that I learn from each unique perspective and recognize the barriers for seeking support in marginalized communities. I have a deep commitment to anti-oppression work (feminist, antiracist) and am dedicated to providing affirmative counseling for members of the LGBTQA community.
