I will be out of the office from 4/25/25 through 6/6/25. You are welcome to send a message, but responses will be delayed.
ADULTS: I specialize in helping clients improve communication skills, become more assertive, set (and enforce) healthy boundaries, and heal from past trauma. My practical and supportive approach might be a good match for you. I provide EMDR (trauma therapy) when needed/desired. Give me a call to talk about it.
I offer free video consultations (20 minutes) so clients can ask questions, get a sense of my style, and figure out if we might be a good match. Even if you end up choosing another therapist, many people find this consultation helpful. So feel free to reach out and set one up.

Although I don't take insurance directly, a lot of my clients use their out-of-network benefits. I work with my clients so they have the best chance of reimbursement by their insurance. I also accept HSA and FSA funds, which can reduce the cost of therapy.

For couples, there is a detailed intake process to figure out exactly what you need so we aren't wasting time talking about fights all the time. For individuals, I listen to you about what your goals are, and we develop a plan together. For all my clients, if you have a skill area that isn't well developed, I teach you those skills to help you be more successful. I'm practical and supportive.

For couples, I primarily use Gottman Method, though I will bring in other things if appropriate. For individuals, I will use a variety of therapies, depending on what the client needs. I often do EMDR (trauma therapy), Mindfulness-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral. Whatever I'm using, my approach is supportive and kind, and direct. Me just listening doesn't change your life, so I get in there.
