• Initial Consultation

    I offer a free 15 minute phone or video consultation to discuss your treatment needs, and to see if we are a good match for therapy.

    Individual Psychotherapy

    I offer Telehealth for all of my clients. All you need is a computer and a private comfy space for your session. No commute. No parking. Sessions will be performed through Simple Practice, a secure HIPPA compliant platform.

    At first, we'll review your life history. Will will identify patterns or events that stop you from living how you want and work to lessen their effect. Therapy usually starts weekly, then reduces to every other week or monthly as needed. Treatment is tailored to your goals and needs.

    Treatment Modalities

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a treatment that allows your brain to reprocess painful/traumatic memories and desensitize current triggers. While known for treating trauma, can also help identify and address underlying negative core beliefs that may be holding you back. These beliefs are often formed in childhood and can negatively impact self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being. This is a great treatment for those who have maybe done therapy in the past, but still feel “stuck.”

    I also draw on approaches from traditional talk therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based psychotherapy that helps individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions/choices aligned with their values, ultimately teaching psychological flexibility, resiliency, and living a more meaningful life. I believe it is important to treat the whole person, including movement, nutrition, sleep, rest, and play.
