GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Under the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for the services provided to you. It is not possible for a therapist to know, in advance, how many sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person upon the initiation of therapy. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you. This estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain any services listed, nor does it include any services rendered to you that are not identified here.
FAQ
WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO THERAPY?
When it comes to therapy, my approach is both thoughtful and evidence-based, tailored to bring meaningful changes in your life and relationships. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy—each rooted in decades of research and proven results.
CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, empowering you to change behaviors that aren't serving you well. It's like reprogramming a computer; we update outdated software (thoughts and behaviors) to help you function more optimally.
The Gottman Method is another cornerstone of my practice, especially useful for couples. It focuses on building strong relationships through effective communication strategies, conflict resolution skills, and ways to deepen intimacy and admiration. Think of it as a toolset that helps couples construct a robust, lasting relationship.
Lastly, Emotionally Focused Therapy, based on Attachment Theory, dives into how your early life attachments affect your current relationships. It's particularly powerful in helping couples understand each other on a deeper emotional level, fostering a stronger, more secure bond.
By integrating these approaches, I aim to provide comprehensive support, whether you're navigating personal challenges or seeking to enhance your relationships. Let's work together to discover new ways to lead a more fulfilling and connected life.
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
At the moment, we do not accept insurance. We've chosen this path to maintain a high degree of flexibility and personalization in our therapy sessions that insurance restrictions often limit.

Understanding that investment in therapy can be significant, we strive to make our services as accessible as possible. We offer a range of payment options and are happy to discuss flexible payment plans tailored to your financial situation. Remember, investing in therapy is a profound step towards personal growth and lasting relationship improvement.

WHAT IS YOUR INTAKE PROCESS?
Our intake process is designed to be as smooth and welcoming as possible, ensuring that we start our journey together on the right foot. It all begins with a simple phone call or an online form submission. During this initial contact, we'll ask a few questions to understand your needs and goals for therapy.
