GET TO KNOW ME
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland.
I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. In life, we can't experience love or significant life changes without also experiencing a sense of loss, as well as other conflicting feelings. As a result, sometimes our emotions feel overwhelming and we can become stuck, unable to move forward in ways that feel more positive. I provide a supportive, person-centered approach to therapy and together we can begin the healing process and help you rediscover what brings meaning to your life.
I work with both individuals and couples, and have experience in counseling individuals dealing with self-esteem issues, stress, life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach to therapy is both eclectic and relational, and includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Attachment Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), and Contemporary Gestalt training.
INSURANCE
I currently do not accept insurance, but can provide a statement (superbill) at the end of the month or have my biller bill directly to your insurance for you. Depending on your insurance plan, they may reimburse you for a portion of each visit at an out-of-network rate.
SESSION LENGTH
Sessions are 50 minutes in length.
HOURS
Appointments are available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings on weekdays.
RATE
I charge $175-200 per individual session, but do have some sliding scale slots available if there is a financial need. Couples sessions are $250 per session. EMDR sessions are usually 75 minutes in length and are $225 per session.
