I do not accept insurance.

If you have a PPO policy, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement through the out-of-network component of your provider plan. If you plan to use this option, please contact your insurance provider to determine whether and to what degree sessions will be reimbursed.

If you choose to use this option, I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance provider. My fees are $175 for 60-minute individual sessions, and $200 for 90-minute couple sessions.

My sessions are generally 60 minutes for individual and 90 minutes for couples sessions.

I work with adults and teens aged 14 and older.

My approach is collaborative and psychodynamic. That said, I often work with clients who specifically prefer short-term and solution-focused treatment plans. My modalities are evidence-based and usually include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed CBT.

Yes.

Generally, yes. Grief, while arguably more distressing than many mental health diagnoses, is a normal response and not a pathology.

The primary focus of grief therapy is to restore the bereaved to a previous level of baseline functioning. That can feel like a low bar until you are actually in the grief process when it often feels entirely unattainable.

Most people are surprised to learn that grief responses reach far beyond sadness and often include numbness, disassociation, lack of motivation, poor memory, anger, or constant irritation.

If you have a history of mental illness, this can feel very scary – even like a reoccurrence. If you have never had mental health issues, the experience can feel just as alarming. It is important to know that grief responses are universal – they are shared across cultures and have been documented throughout history. We share these responses with other mammals – even elephants experience grief!

Not really. And to be candid, the focus of grief therapy – in the acute stages – is not necessarily intended to make you feel better. So far, nobody has found a good method of problem solving their way out of grief.

But you can make sense of the experience, and maintain your relationships and priorities, and, eventually, return to normality – whatever that looks like for you.

That’s a great question! No.

You will find that I prioritize my neutrality and therefore do not receive referrals from or provide services to the courts.

I am trained in parenting coordination and guardian ad litem services. I have a deep understanding of how high-conflict personalities can weaponize these functions during the divorce process.

That’s great. I don’t want you to be in therapy forever either. My clients appreciate the fact that I understand that most of them would much rather be doing something else with their time. You will find that my focus is on short-term and solution-focused treatment plans.
