I offer individual and couples psychotherapy and coaching by referral only. I accept referrals from current and former clients, as well as providers across many specialties. Before scheduling any appointments, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to determine whether I’m the best fit for you or if a referral to another provider might better meet your needs. All clients start with an in-person Intensive Consultation Session. Individual sessions are three hours. Couples are six hours (two 3-hour sessions).

SERVICES

INTENSIVE CONSULTATION SESSIONS

COUPLES / 6 Hours (two 3-hour sessions) / In-Person Only
Sometimes the problem is simply another person, but it’s often how we react to each other that creates friction. These sessions are for romantic partners who are struggling with a conflict or stuck in a frustrating dynamic. I help people working through parenting disagreements, healing from infidelity, considering separation, and everything in between. At the end of our session, I’ll share my thoughts on your strengths and growth areas, how to move forward as a team, a realistic timeline for change, and any recommendations for ongoing support.

INDIVIDUALS / 3 Hours / In-Person Only
It takes two people to create a dynamic, but only one to change it. These sessions are for people who want help understanding or changing their relationships – with themselves, a partner, a family member, a friend, or a colleague. After our session, I’ll share my thoughts on the situations you’re struggling with, your strengths and potential blind spots, a realistic timeline for change, and my recommendations for moving forward.

NON-ROMANTIC PARTNERS / 6 Hours (two 3-hour sessions) / In-Person Only
I also work with non-romantic relationships, such as business partners struggling with difficult work situations, co-parents raising children together, and adult siblings managing the care of aging parents. I use the same approach and methodology as a Couples Intensive Consultation Session, with the content geared toward your specific circumstances.

FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS

In Person, Phone, or Zoom
At the end of our first session, we’ll discuss the duration and frequency of any follow-up sessions. My goal is to help you understand what’s happening so you can recognize and interrupt your familiar but unhelpful patterns and create new, productive interactions. We’re all wired differently – how long it takes depends on each person and their commitment to disrupting these old patterns outside of our sessions. Much of our work together is pattern recognition, interruption, and nervous system re-wiring.

COACHING SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF SESSIONS / Texts and Calls
Texts and calls are available on an as-needed basis. Because I’m teaching you new ways of interacting, support outside of our sessions is important. When we get stuck in a cycle of stress or panic, it can be hard to think clearly. Much of our frontal lobe – where some of the best parts of us exist – goes offline to conserve energy for fight or flight. We can’t consider multiple or nuanced outcomes, and only worst-case scenarios feel possible. In these moments, checking in with me before taking action can help interrupt the cycle of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that contribute to unhelpful decision-making and disappointing interactions. I’ll help you recenter so you can: 

• Productively navigate a conflict at work or home

• Make a big decision

• Deal with an unexpected high-stress situation 

When we disrupt these negative patterns, we can retrain our brains to calm down and show up as our better selves during times of stress. 

OTHER SERVICES

INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES THERAPY FOR THERAPISTS

Being a mental health practitioner brings its own specific challenges when it comes to expectations in interpersonal relationships (with partners, parents, children, and self, to name a few). I have extensive experience working with psychotherapists and coaches, and understand the unique perspective caregivers of all kinds face.

INDIVIDUAL & GROUP CASE CONSULTATION FOR THERAPISTS

I run consultation groups and also provide one-on-one consultation to other therapists. If you are interested in joining a group or hiring me for individual case consultation, please send me an email.

INSURANCE

I don’t accept insurance, but can provide a monthly statement with the information you need to file for reimbursement. Because all insurance plans vary, I recommend contacting your insurance company before seeing me to understand your coverage benefits for out-of-network behavioral health providers. All plans differ, some don’t cover couples counseling at all (in network or out), most require one person to be the “patient” with a diagnosis. Many insurance companies only reimburse for a portion of the intensive intake sessions. Please talk to me if you are planning to use this option so we can discuss the process.
