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, wanting something deeper - a space to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns they feel stuck in.
I love working with both those who are new to therapy and those looking to deepen their individual work. While the people I work with come from a wide range of backgrounds, I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex trauma (C-PTSD), dissociation and dissociative disorders, relationship issues, complicated family dynamics, eating disorders and disordered eating, and anxiety and rumination.
Training & Background
I’ve completed several years of advanced training in relational psychoanalytic therapy with children, adolescents, and adults from the William Alanson White Institute. To complement the deeper analytic work I do with individuals, I’ve completed additional training in exposure-based therapies for anxiety and OCD, and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), a cognitive behavioral therapy specifically geared towards children and adolescents with PTSD.
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 you. 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 typically 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.
