Approach
How I Work
Psychotherapy is a "talking cure"—one in which language becomes a vehicle for change. We are a culture of words, and we use them to create meaning, symbolize experience, and make sense of our inner lives. It's often said that to understand a person, you have to learn to "speak their language." My work is to help you find words for what matters most, so you can come to know yourself more deeply—and begin to recognize, and address, what may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life.
As we move through life, we create and carry narratives about ourselves—some of which we outgrow, and some that may never have quite fit in the first place. In exploring these stories, patterns come into view. Over time, we begin to see how they connect to our relationships, our choices, and our sense of self. Attending to what recurs, and to what often goes unnoticed beneath the surface, can interrupt painful cycles and open up possibilities you might not yet see.
This process is not about merely revisiting the past, but encountering it with perspective. Examining your life with fresh eyes allows new meanings to take shape and greater clarity to emerge—opening the way for growth and meaningful change.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and each person brings something unique. I offer a space where you can explore your full range of thoughts and feelings, while developing more effective ways of expressing them. I work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, questions of identity, trauma, disordered eating, depression, stress, and other difficult emotional states.

Fees
I accept cash, credit cards, Venmo, and Zelle as forms of payment. The rate for sessions is determined together during the consultation process, so we can find an arrangement that works for you.
I do not accept insurance at this time. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement through your insurance company. I provide all necessary documentation and paperwork to help you submit a claim.
I’ve partnered with Mentaya to make using out-of-network benefits easier and more affordable. You can use the tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services. Otherwise, you may also contact your provider directly to ask about your out-of-network coverage.
