Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

At the heart of all significant issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss are relationships. Therefore, change must also occur within a relationship and therapy is a unique one which which provides the safety, trust and honesty, to foster growth. As your therapist, I am fully present for you, in the way that even the best intentioned friend or family member may not be, because I do not have an agenda, and I am invested in the decisions you make to improve your quality of life. I work with individuals, groups and families, to help change their way of relating to the others so they can experience new ways of being.

I have seven years of experience helping people of all ages recognize and change dysfunctional patterns in their lives. I have additional areas of expertise in working with children in foster care or who have experienced disrupted family situations. I also have strengths in engaging adolescents in treatment and working with the LGBT population. I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations and school consultation and advocacy.

 

More Info About My Practice

I offer a free consultation session. I do use a sliding scale for clients who are concerned about their ability to pay for treatment. I do not accept insurance at this time, but most people with out of network benefits are able to be reimbursed for a large portion of my fee. I will work with you and your insurance company to help facilitate the reimbursement process.
