“Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within.”
-Gabor Mate
Know yourself. Trust yourself. Transform yourself.
We all have moments that stop us in our tracks. A loss, a rupture in a relationship, a season of life that leaves us questioning who we are and where we're headed. Whether something happened to you or something shifted within you, the path forward starts with understanding yourself more fully.
That's where neuroscience comes in. The brain is far more changeable than most people realize. Neuroplasticity allows us to form new pathways, update old patterns, and even reprocess decades-old memories that still carry an emotional charge — often without having to retell or relive painful experiences. Change doesn't have to be slow or indefinite.
Real change — lasting change, the kind we actually go to therapy for — is a byproduct of healing. And healing looks different for everyone. There are many excellent therapeutic methods out there, and I've trained extensively in them. But what I actually bring to session is a blend of 20+ years of experience, hundreds of additional training hours, and myself — my lived experience, my take on things, my sense of humor, my authenticity. Just as there's no one-size-fits-all diet, there's no universal approach for every person. Your path will be tailored to you.
Clear insights. Honest conversations. Making the deep work easier than you expected.
Good to Know
Therapy Sessions
Whether you choose to meet online or in-person, this dedicated time offers you a space to explore and process your thoughts, emotions, challenges, and stressors. Sessions run 50-55 minutes and are typically held weekly at first to build consistency and create momentum.
Fees & Insurance
My fee is $195 per session. Clients are welcome to self-pay regardless of insurance coverage.
I am in-network with Aetna and BCBS PPO plans and maintain a limited number of slots for clients using insurance.
For clients with other insurance plans, I am an out-of-network provider. Upon request I provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
Therapy intensive rates are separate from standard session fees. Contact me to learn more.
FSA/HSA Funds
Good news! You can utilize your Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account funds to pay for your sessions, even if the provider is out-of-network.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you're asking that question, probably yes. Most people who come to therapy aren't in crisis — they're smart, self-aware people who have tried to figure things out on their own and hit a wall. Therapy is useful when the patterns you want to change aren't changing, when you understand something intellectually but can't seem to feel it differently, or when you're ready to stop managing and start actually healing.
-
Trauma is what happens inside you in response to experiences that overwhelmed your capacity to cope — not a measure of how bad the event was. It doesn't require a single catastrophic event. Chronic stress, relational wounds, and cumulative experiences all count.
PTSD is what we call it when trauma responses don't resolve on their own. Intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, avoidance — these are the nervous system's attempts to protect you from something it still perceives as a threat. It's not a disorder of weakness. It's a disorder of incomplete recovery. The good news is that the brain is far more changeable than most people realize, and PTSD responds well to targeted treatment.
-
The brain and nervous system aren't just bystanders in emotional pain — they're central to it. A brain-based approach means we're not just talking about what happened or why you feel the way you do. We're working with how your nervous system learned to respond, and using that understanding to create real, lasting change. Often that means the work is faster and less painful than people expect.
-
Yes. Growing up with an emotionally immature parent leaves a particular kind of mark — one that often doesn't get named until adulthood. If you spent childhood managing a parent's emotions, shrinking yourself to keep the peace, or never quite feeling seen, that shapes how you move through relationships and how you see yourself. This is treatable, and it's more common than most people realize.
-
Yes. Narcissistic abuse leaves a particular kind of damage — one that's often hard to name because the harm was subtle, cumulative, and frequently invisible to people outside the relationship. Many clients come in doubting their own perceptions. We work to restore that sense of reality, rebuild trust in yourself, and process the trauma underneath.
-
A half-day intensive is for people who are ready to do focused work but don't want to spend months getting there. Instead of the standard 50-55 minute weekly session, we carve out dedicated, uninterrupted time — typically three to four hours — to go deeper and move further. It works well for people at a turning point, working through something specific, or who simply want to accelerate the process.
