The initial consultation is 60 minutes, and ongoing sessions are 45 minutes.

The first session is focused on “getting to know you.” We will spend the majority of the session understanding what brought you in and the circumstances that you’re in.

We’ll talk about your current functioning as well as past experiences that may have contributed to your current state. We will also talk about what you hope to gain from therapy and what you can expect from therapy.

Most people can benefit from therapy. Whether you are struggling with interpersonal issues, emotional upheaval, or life changes, therapy can help you better understand the situation you are in and find ways to help improve your functioning.

I work with young adults and adults.

Therapy is different for each client, and one approach does not work for everyone.

After spending some time getting to know you and your areas of difficulty, I primarily use a combination of psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family systems (IFS), cognitive strategies, and humor.

If you don’t know what any of this means, don’t worry! Therapy will still be effective!

While medication can be helpful and is sometimes necessary, it is not sufficient on its own.

Therapy can help you understand the root of the problem and help you develop skills to effectively manage your life and improve your overall functioning.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). In addition, I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, IFS, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I’ve been working as a therapist for the past 20+ years and enjoying (almost) all of it.

I love helping people get to know themselves. It’s very satisfying to be a part of the insight and clarity that come along with therapy. It’s exciting each time a client has an “a-ha” moment. I love the REAL conversations and the deep and intriguing work.

My clients appreciate that I’m very relatable and have an ability to connect. I like to think they also enjoy my humor!

That is up to you. I do not greet clients in public unless they say “hi” first.

I hope so! No complaints so far.
