More Info About My Practice

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I do not accept insurance but I will give you a receipt in order for you to file a claim with your insurance company. I offer a limited number of sliding scale fee openings to graduate students in psychology.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

The purpose of psychotherapy is to increase awareness and develop a person's actual and potential resources in order to grow beyond one's difficulties and limitations in order to live a healthier, more whole life.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Generally, I see clients weekly in order to keep the therapeutic process moving. In times of crisis, I may see clients more frequently in order to provide that extra support they may need. Therapy takes as long as it takes for the client to feel that they have reached their goals and can move on in life without the aid of the therapist. How long this takes depends on the client, his or her situation, his or her ability and willingness to work in therapy, and the therapist's skill in facilitating the therapeutic process. Ideally, the decision to end therapy is a collaborative one made by both the therapist and the client. Ultimately, it is the client who must decide for themselves when it is time to end treatment.
