The cost is $210 for a 50-minute session. Most clients come every week or every other week at a set time. Under federal law, you are entitled to a good faith estimate of the expected cost of therapy when you become a client.

Many of my clients are struggling with life transitions that challenge all of us: a career change, a shift in status or income, marriage, divorce, the loss of a loved one, or unwelcome conflict within their relationships. Coming to therapy doesn’t mean “there is something wrong with you.”

People come to see me for a variety of reasons. Some come in reporting anxiety, depression or PTSD and are looking for relief in order to lead happier, more productive lives.

Some are facing significant life decisions and are confused about which path to take. Some want help with their relationships or want to heal a wound from an old relationship that continues to bring pain.

And others can’t quite put their finger on it, but report a general unease or numbness and want to bring more joy, clarity or meaning to life.

Generally, the first few sessions focus on assessment and goal setting, and I tailor my approach after learning about each client.

For individuals I primarily use cognitive strategies, mindfulness, EMDR, i-Rest, and Internal Family Systems.

My work with couples is rooted in Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy and the research of Drs. John and Julie Gottman. You can read more about these modalities at www.gottman.com and http://www.iceeft.com/index.php/about-us/what-is-eft.

During the process, however, I continuously check in with my clients to see whether they feel as though they are making progress toward their goals, and if not, what needs to change with respect to the work we are doing.
