Psychological Services

I offer individual and group psychotherapy to help adults work through depression, relationship issues, women’s issues, sexuality, gender identity, loss/grief, negative feelings about oneself, life transitions, aging, and identity concerns.

Each patient is given the opportunity to share their story in a safe environment. Many find it easy to talk with me and share aspects of their lives they have never been comfortable discussing before.

Individual Therapy

With acceptance, honesty, and empathy, I help my patients explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in order to gain insight and make desired changes. I also assist patients in understanding how their defenses, once adaptive to their situation, no longer serve them as adults. We can then work toward building a greater capacity for regulating painful moods, and adopting healthier coping skills.

Fees & Insurance Information

• Individual sessions are 50 minutes. The fee is $175.
• Payment is due by check at the time of service.
• Credit Card payment through SQUARE is also accepted.

I am an Out Of Network provider. If you would like to submit bills to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, I am happy to provide an invoice at the end of each month.

Consultation & Supervision

I offer supervision for therapists focusing on clinical skills and/or professional development.

I also provide consultation to mental health organizations, family and small businesses, and non-profits, to help them better understand how problematic interpersonal dynamics and mental health issues impact their organizational functioning.

Additionally, I offer consultation and psychological services to attorneys regarding mental health issues affecting their clients’ legal cases.
