Why Therapy?

Investing in yourself and/or your family 

I am a L.M.F.T. with over 32 years of experience. I consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey to a more fulfilling life. My style is interactive, direct and supportive. I use an individualized approach focusing on the here and now, but also recognizing that one’s past impacts choices, feelings and behaviors in the present.

 

I recognize that starting therapy can be scary and anxiety provoking, however it can also be an exciting first step to a happier, more fulfilled life. Therapy shouldn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. Therapy can be supportive, validating, empathic and empowering.

 

One's life can always be improved on.

 

We incorrectly believe that we should naturally know how to communicate effectively. We are often drawn to familiar situations, even when they might not be in our best interest. I see my role as a guide in helping you better understand yourself and your relationships so that patterns can be altered, and in some cases broken. These changes can occur when there is an authentic relationship built on trust, respect and safety. Creating boundaries and learning healthy assertiveness leads us to more fulfilling relationships. The goal is to help you achieve a healthier well being. My hope that as we work together on this journey through trust, gentle guidance, challenging thoughts and behaviors, you will be able to develop healthy patterns and achieve your goals.

 

I take pride in providing high quality services, in exchange for your willingness to trust me and invest in yourself. Making the choice to attend therapy means that you've taken the first step. I hope you find therapy with me to be a safe, nurturing, productive experience.

Rates

Payment is due at time of service.

I accept cash, check, or credit card.

 

Please call to discuss my fee.

Reduced fee and Sliding scale spots are offered on a limited basis and availability in circumstances in which insurance does not cover fees. My hope is that finances should not be a barrier to getting the help you want or need.

My fee is per 45 minute session. Session Frequency is typically weekly initially and can increase or decrease depending on need and progress.

I am currently in-network for several popular insurance panels and accept out of network insurance for reimbursement for those insurance companies that I am not a part of.
