Services
When working with me, you can expect to be supported, understood, and guided as you delve deeper, making powerful discoveries that result in lasting, meaningful change. I will honor and appreciate your quirks, your musings, your dark sense of humor, your hangups, and the times when you can't find the words to express what's going on.
I aid in areas of interpersonal relationship struggles and major life transitions: grief/loss; career concerns and changes; life after divorce and break-ups; anxieties around pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenthood; connecting with peers and intimate partners; and adjustment to college and postgraduate education.
If we agree to work together, you will receive an email with intake materials for you to return via the secure client portal before your first session. We will use the first 3 sessions to assess goals, formulate a treatment plan, and confirm that we are a good fit for working together. I am considered an out-of-network provider, and will collect your payment at the beginning of each session(credit/debit/FSA card, cash, or check).
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing is "an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma*" among other concerns. EMDR is a non-drug, non-hypnosis psychotherapy procedure. The therapist guides the client in concentrating on a troubling memory or emotion while moving the eyes rapidly back and forth (by following the therapist's fingers).
