Therapy can support flexibility, resilience, and getting unstuck. I will work with you to explore how your past experiences and relationships have shaped who you are and how you want to relate to them going forward. My experience includes:
-
individuals in high-stress environments, including diverse professionals
-
young adults
-
individuals facing unexpected life transitions
Teens
Would you like to know more about
-
Coping with pressure and stress?
-
Managing perfectionism and self-criticism?
-
Dealing with procrastination?
-
Overcoming social anxiety?
If any of these are part of your life, you're not alone! In therapy, you have your own space to talk about what's going on in your life. It can feel scary to open up to someone, and it's common for people who are new to therapy to worry about being judged. I hope it helps to know that therapy is meant to be a judgment-free zone. We'll work together on setting goals for therapy and trying out strategies to learn what works best for you.
Couples and Families
We look to our closest relationships for unwavering support and deep belonging. When those ties are frayed - for whatever reason - our wellbeing suffers. I work with couples to address:
-
entrenched patterns of misunderstanding, mismatched communication styles, unresolved conflicts, and other missed opportunities
-
uncovering the fears and longings that lie beneath conflict
-
learning new skills for relating to each other
-
navigating multicultural relationships
Fees
$160 per session
For clients who are unable to pay full fee, I have a limited number of sliding scale appointments available.
I currently do not accept insurance. However, I am able to provide a super-bill (a therapeutic receipt) that can be submitted to your insurance company.
"Good Faith Estimate"
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. I will give you a copy of this estimate when we first meet if you want it.
