I aim to create a calm, sturdy, trustworthy, emotionally grounded, and radically nonjudgmental therapeutic space where you can be deeply curious about your own experience. A patient, open-ended space where you can take your time. A space where you can slow down, breathe, reflect, be quiet or silent. A space where you can be loud, angry, triggered, upset. A space where you don't have to make sense, but we can try to make sense of things together. A space where we both can be genuinely curious about who you are.
My approach to therapy is grounded in mindfulness and science-based cognitive-behavioral therapies. I combine these with depth-oriented models including existential/humanistic, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy, and schema therapy.
I am an expert in some things -- some of the sciences of psychology, some of the arts of psychotherapy. But you are the expert on your own life.
I prefer therapy to be a collaborative working process in which we together investigate your life patterns, your inner experiences, and your patterns in relationships.
I accept only a select few insurance carriers, including Aetna. Otherwise, I am only accepting new private-pay or cash patients.
I am committed to the importance of low-fee psychological services. However, currently, those positions in my caseload are already taken. But I do keep a wait-list. If you are interested in working with me, please do reach out. We can discuss and try to settle on a sliding-scale fee that would work for both of us.
