​Therapy

Picture

​There isn't necessarily a "right time" for therapy.  Some people have specific problems they want to talk about with a trained licensed professional.  Some people come to therapy to get to know themselves and their feelings better.  Many people come to therapy when the strategies they have used for a long time to cope with difficult feelings or with a specific problem are no longer working as effectively as they used to.


​Therapy can accomplish many outcomes. Through therapy, we can change our internal sense of self to enjoy and engage with the world more. We can alter long held beliefs about ourselves and perceptions of our world that may not work for us anymore and may not support us in becoming who we want to be.  Therapy can help us understand more about our history, our identity, and our roles in the world to see ourselves and others in a way we can work with to be happy.

I believe that real progress from any therapy comes from the work that I and my client put in to building a trusting relationship in a safe environment where feelings, thoughts and behaviors can be explored.  I work openly, compassionately, and diligently with you so we can create that therapeutic space to explore how thoughts and feelings you may not even be aware of may be leading you to the distress you are feeling or the problem you are experiencing. ​ My clinical training is grounded in psychodynamic, complex trauma, sex therapy, Internal Family Systems, and relational approaches.  Please book a consultation appointment to explore what you hope for from therapy.

Attachment is more than just knowing your attachment style.  Therapy is perhaps the best mechanism for a deeper understanding of abandonment fear, which is really at the core of attachment anxiety.

Please call me to discuss my fees for therapy, as they vary based on a number of circumstances, including whether it’s group, individual or couples / relationship therapy. 

​Generally, therapy fees are an expense covered out of pocket and sometimes can be reimbursed by your insurance company.  In those instances, I am more than happy to provide you with a bill for fees paid so that you can forward that to your insurer for reimbursement, or work to bill your insurance company if I am on their panel of providers.
