Therapeutic Approaches:

In each of our sessions, we will use a variety of approaches, guided by your goals and preferences, such as:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective treatment for working with unprocessed memories and negative thought patterns that can be a part of trauma.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body oriented model that aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient.

Seeking Safety can help you to develop insight and tools to deal with co-current trauma and substance abuse. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you to uncover self-limiting beliefs and thought patterns and work to change them.

Trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is specifically designed to assist children and adolescents in processing trauma and limiting beliefs stemming from the traumatic event. 

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) can assist in developing and supporting a positive relationship and connection between the mind and body.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you to develop understanding about different emotional states, how they impact your relationships with others, and with awareness and acceptance, to develop new ways of managing them. 

Counseling Specialties: 

I see people who are 18+. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ individuals, and I am committed to being culturally sensitive with all of the my clients. 

I specialize in trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders including phobias, OCD, and panic attacks. I also have years of experience working with depression, grief/loss, life transitions, family of origin and/or adoption concerns, issues related to sexuality and/or intimacy, and improving relationships. I have additional training in EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Seeking Safety.

Rates & Insurance

I am an in-network provider for Aetna insurance. I considered an out-of-network provider for other insurance companies. At the beginning of each appointment, you will be responsible for payment by cash or check, and I will provide you with a receipt with all necessary information to submit to your insurance company. 

I encourage you to contact your insurance company to verify coverage before we begin working together. 

Appointments are $150 a session.

As frequent cancellations are disruptive to the therapeutic process, there is a 48 hour cancellation policy for appointments. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will be subject to a $75 cancellation fee except in the case of emergencies.
