The Purpose of Psychotherapy is

To Set People Free

About

About Me

I believe it is nothing short of a privilege to work with clients.  Many clients arrive to treatment experiencing pain or distress.  Therefore, safety, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity are of the utmost importance in our work.  Further, the relevance of culture and issues of diversity is always considered.  Please click on "My Approach" for more information.​

 

I only accept private payment currently (though I will provide a receipt to clients who wish to seek out-of network reimbursement from insurance).  I do offer several sliding scale payment options in a percentage of my available time slots with clients.  I offer these sliding scale slots on a first-come, first-served basis.  I am happy to explain this process in whatever detail is helpful. 

​

Choosing a psychotherapist can be challenging.   Along with the concerns that bring you to treatment, you may be wondering if you will fit well with my approach or interpersonal style.  I offer an initial consultation to all potential clients (at no charge).  This gives us an opportunity to discuss any questions and concerns you may have, along with considering how we feel about working with one another.
