Individual Psychotherapy

Picture
I work with individuals with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and loss. I also work with individuals who are dealing with difficult life transitions (divorce, loss, job uncertainty), or who are trying to increase a sense of meaning or connectedness in their life. My approach is ‘integrative’ in nature, in that I have training in both directive (e.g., cognitive behavioral) and less directive approaches to psychotherapy (e.g., psychodynamic and control mastery). Overall, my approach to individual therapy is to make sure that I am a good ‘fit’ with my clients, so I work to meet the needs of each individual.


Couple Psychotherapy

My approach to couple psychotherapy aligns with Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT has the strongest research evidence of effectiveness of any approach to couples work. Therapists in this approach help couples recognize and alter dysfunctional relational or communication patterns . EFT therapists work to help both individuals understand their specific role in dysfunctional communication cycles so that they can slow down their interactions and meet their partner in a more open and vulnerable way.

I have been a supervisor and consultant for beginning to more seasoned psychotherapists for over 10 years. I am available for one-time consultations or on-going supervision. Feel free to contact me by phone or email for more information.







​Fees
My fee is adjusted periodically, so please call or email me for my current fee.  I also offer a sliding scale based on income, when appropriate.  I do not take insurance, but I am happy to fill out the necessary paperwork for you to be reimbursed by your insurance company.  Many, but not all, insurance companies offer some reimbursement for psychotherapy.
