Group sessions are an 1 hour and 15 minutes.
To ensure progress is made, we meet weekly, and the duration of your treatment depends on your goals.
I do not accept insurance but am happy to provide you with a superbill for possible reimbursement by your insurance provider.
Choosing a therapist is an intimidating process. Talking on the phone with me is the first step in getting a better sense of how I work. This conversation and the first few sessions will help you determine if I am a good fit for you.
I am very supportive of this part of the process and understand that I am not the best fit for everyone. If so, I will assist you in finding a good match.
I charge $200 for individual and couples sessions and $90 for group sessions.
Please ask me about the availability of a reduced fee if you have a financial need.
I graduated from Wellesley College in 2001 with a BA in French and Psychology. In 2006 I obtained a Masters in Counseling from St. Edward's University.
Before opening my private practice in 2008, I worked at the Waterloo Counseling Center serving the LGBTQ+ population in indivudal and couples therapy. After that I worked at SAFE Alliance where I was an Adult and Family Counselor working with survivors of domestic violence, early childhood sexual abuse, and sexual assault.
In my private practice I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations including attachment theory, neurobiology, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, insight-oriented, and somatic techniques. My professional training has included workshops, conferences, study groups, individual and group consultation, process groups, and training groups.
I believe that the most competent therapists engage deeply in their own therapeutic process, and I am proud to say that in all my years of practice, I have never strayed away from this endeavor.
Having a good quality of life requires us to have a solid support system. Unfortunately, many people lack one and have therefore learned to be too self-sufficient.
Individual therapy is a space just for you, where you can figure out what is creating unwanted difficulties in your life and how to make things better.
Having a professional to talk to is different from leaning on one's circle of family and friends. In a confidential environment that is purposefully and therapeutically one-sided, people find it easier to speak more freely about their inner life and problems. This is your space!
I see both hetero and same sex couples.
I work to help couples understand the dynamics in the relationship that have led to struggle and disconnection.
Some of my specialties include family of origin struggles (and the impact on the relationship), co-parenting, healing from affairs, divorce and separation, and premarital counseling.
Therapy can be a helpful space for teens, particularly those that find this new stage too overwhelming to handle by themselves.
As they work towards independence, it is natural and developmentally appropriate for teens to want support from those outside the home.
A professional can help them process all the changes that are happening and learn to manage life's new challenges in healthy ways.
My work with teens also supports parents, as they too are navigating this big transition.
Group therapy is a dynamic environment in which members work on their relationship with themselves and others.
Due to the confidential and therapeutic nature of groups, members not only feel less alone and learn to handle conflict better, but they also deepen their understanding of themselves.
I do not currently have any groups running.
