Clinicians who offer sliding scale payment structures may offer lower or reduced fees based on an individual's ability to pay. Please contact this clinician for more details regarding their fees or sliding scale policy.My Approach to Helping
Every client, no matter where they come from or what they have been through, will come to therapy for their own unique individual reasons. I use an eclectic approach to determine what encouraged each client to sit down with me. I take a personal and family history and look at obstacles that are blocking a client from moving forward. With couples I take histories together, focusing on communication skills and their individual stories, which reveal what each person brings into the relationship. I use humor in therapy, asking questions and giving valuable feedback. I have studied Jungian therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, have worked with adolescents, grief and loss and directed a feminist therapy referral group at Yale University. I have studied mindfulness at UCLA and cultivate those teachings with clients I work with.
