Frequently Asked Questions

What issues do you help with?

I work with adults and couples experiencing:

  • Anxiety and stress

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

  • Depression

  • Life transitions and identity concerns

I have advanced training in EMDR, an evidence-based approach that helps people process and heal from difficult experiences. I have decades of experience in Psychoanalytic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I cater my approach to meet your specific goals.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, research-supported therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories.

Rather than talking about a problem endlessly, EMDR helps your nervous system “digest” experiences that may feel stuck.

Many people find it effective for:

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety

  • Panic

  • Performance blocksWhat types of therapy do you provide?

What is cognitive behavioral(cbt) therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, practical approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

In CBT, we work to:

  • Identify unhelpful thought patterns

  • Develop more effective ways of thinking

  • Build skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood

CBT is often helpful for more immediate symptom relief and specific challenges.

What is Psychoanalytic therapy?

Psychoanalytic therapy is a depth-oriented approach that focuses on understanding unconscious patterns that influence thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

Together, we explore:

  • Repeating patterns in relationships

  • Early life experiences

  • Underlying emotional conflicts

This approach can lead to deeper self-understanding and lasting change, especially for long-standing or complex concerns.

What is therapy with you like?

Therapy with me is:

  • Collaborative

  • Thoughtful and in-depth

  • Focused on both insight and real change

I aim to create a space where you feel understood, while also helping you move forward in meaningful ways. People experience me as warm, supportive, active and engaging. I keep therapy focused and productive while provided and connected experience.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

People often come in because:

  • Something doesn’t feel right internally

  • Patterns keep repeating in relationships

  • They feel stuck despite success in other areas

If you’re wondering whether therapy could help, that’s often a good sign it’s worth exploring.

Do you offer a consultation?

Yes. I offer a brief 15-20 minute initial consultation to help us determine if we’re a good fit.

This is an opportunity to:

  • Ask questions

  • Share what you’re looking for

  • Get a sense of how I work

How do I get started?

You can begin by:

  • Call, text or email me

From there, we’ll schedule initial appointment or further consultation.

What are your fees?

My fee is $350 per 50-minute session.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience and advanced training in EMDR and depth-oriented psychotherapy, I provide specialized, individualized treatment.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider.

However, I can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

How long does therapy last?

This varies depending on your goals.

Some people come for short-term work focused on a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy for deeper exploration and lasting change.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions (such as risk of harm to yourself or others), which will be explained during the intake process.

What if I’m nervous about starting therapy?

That’s completely normal.

Many people feel uncertain at first. Reaching out is often the hardest step but once you do you are well on the road to meaningful change.

Still have questions?
I’m happy to speak with you.
