A psychotherapy practice treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and unresolved trauma
The stress of day-to-day life can be overwhelming. It can cause us to feel anxious, sad, and disconnected from ourselves and the people who are most important to us.
Therapy can be a powerful resource that allows you to be seen, heard, and supported. Dedicating your time and energy towards improving your mental well being and focusing on yourself is not always easy. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and nurturing environment in which you can feel comfortable leaning into your vulnerabilities, and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
In my practice, therapy is a collaborative process and I work with each of my clients to create an individualized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals. I can help you achieve greater fulfillment, balance, and happiness and satisfaction in your life.
Many people think that psychotherapy is only for those with mental health concerns, however, the truth is that therapy can benefit anyone who is looking to gain insight, achieve greater self-awareness, build resilience, and an enhanced sense of well-being.
My approach is a blend between proven, evidence-based treatment modalities including Trauma-Informed Therapy, Attachment Science, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Somatic & Mindfulness-Based Techniques (Integrative Approaches).

The Results
My clients report that as a result of therapy they feel less anxious and depressed, increasingly self-aware, and better able to manage stress and life transitions. They possess greater confidence, are fully engaged, and are enjoying their lives, again.
Couples share that they have gained a better understanding of their relationship dynamics, have regained trust, learned effective communication and coping skills, and developed a deeper emotional connection leading to greater intimacy.

Life Is So Much More Difficult When Your Anxiety & Stress Are Out Of Control
Anxiety and stress are a message that something in your life is not going well and needs to be addressed. You may have big emotions caused by a painful breakup, unfulfilling job, insecurity, loneliness, or unresolved trauma that you haven’t effectively dealt with, yet.
What is your anxiety trying to teach you?
It’s time to listen to the message and heal whatever has been hurting. The right treatment will enable you to effectively overcome your anxiety
Without proper treatment, anxiety can and will linger.
Which of these anxiety and stress related symptoms do you experience?
- Excessive worries that don't go away even in the absence of a stressor
- Feeling restless, wound-up, on-edge, or out-of-control
- Headaches, digestive troubles, dizziness, or shaking
- Feeling easily fatigued
- Having difficulty concentrating; your mind going blank
- Being irritable, angry, and snapping at others
- Having muscle tension or jaw clenching
- Difficulty controlling feelings of worry
- Having sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, restlessness, or unsatisfying sleep
- Appetite changes, you’ve noticed that your appetite has decreased, or perhaps you’re hungrier than usual, choosing comfort, or less than healthy foods to soothe your emotions

Insurance
This practice is currently not in-network with any insurance companies, so I do not bill directly.
With PPO insurances plans, I’m considered an out-of-network provider. Most PPO insurance companies do cover a portion of out-of-network services. This means that you may be reimbursed in full, or in part, for my psychotherapy services, depending upon your insurance coverage.
If you wish to use your out-of-network benefits, please request a receipt for psychotherapy services (called a superbill) which will include all necessary information for you to submit a claim directly to your insurance company.
Psychotherapy may also qualify for reimbursement using a Health Savings account or Flexible Savings Account. Many people enjoy using this option because it is pre-taxed income, which greatly reduces the overall cost of therapy.
Couples Therapy is not usually covered by health insurance because it’s not deemed “medically necessary.” Relationship issues are not considered a mental health diagnosis, which is a requirement for health insurance companies to pay for therapy.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
