Individual Therapy
Many people seek out individual therapy after years of struggling on their own. Others seek me out after previous experiences focused primarily on coping skills and are left wanting something deeper - an approach that helps them understand the roots of their struggles and why they feel the way they do.
I love working with people who are new to therapy as well as those who want to go deeper in their personal growth. While those I work with come from a wide range of backgrounds, I primarily support people struggling with complex trauma (CPTSD), dissociation and dissociative disorders, relationship challenges, family issues, identity questions, eating disorders, and anxiety or overthinking. I also often work with young adults who identify as neurodiverse.
Training & Background
I’ve completed several years of advanced training in relational psychoanalytic therapy at the William Alanson White Institute, where I am currently continuing my studies. To complement the analytic work I do, I’ve completed additional training in exposure-based therapies for anxiety and OCD.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, relational, and compassionate. I prioritize building a trusting, honest relationship where we can deeply explore your experiences and use what unfolds between us in therapy to gain a deeper understanding of how you relate to others and yourself. Over time, the therapeutic relationship offers a unique place to both notice and gently shift longstanding patterns. Through understanding the relationships and experiences that shape you, as well as in-the-moment experiential work, you’ll begin to feel a lessening of painful symptoms and find new ways of being in your own life that feel freer and more authentic to you.
Logistics
I meet with people 1-3x weekly in person, online, or in an agreed-upon hybrid format. Individual sessions are $260 for 45 minutes. I can either provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement or submit out-of-network claims on your behalf. When I’m able, I offer sliding scale slots based on financial need - if cost feels prohibitive, please reach out so we can discuss a fee that is doable for you. You can check your out-of-network benefits for free here.
