I am private pay as I strongly feel that mental health care deserves privacy and insurance will compromise confidentiality. Additionally, people can and have been punished for having a mental health history on their electronic medical file. Happy to discuss affordability. Let's talk about it.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist helping couples learn and grow about themselves in their relationship. Communication is wildly ineffective. Gottman's research shows only 7 percent of communication is effective. Learn how to identify and grow through your and your partner's defensive reactivity pattern. Individual sessions for anxiety can help you filter and reframe internal dialog.
