Message to clients

I have over ten years of experience and I am skilled in helping clients develop insight into the nature of their problems, process stuck emotions, and achieve lasting behavioral change. Recently, I have been increasingly sought after for EMDR. I have had great outcomes using EMDR to resolve traumatic stress.

More generally, I work with folks struggling with emotional distress. I help my patients delve deeply into their issues and we collaborate to address them. Most of my patients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter. I have a proven track record of good outcomes with hundreds of patients.

This is a direct pay practice. Don't forget that you can pay using your HSA account. Also, I can submit on your behalf for out-of-network insurance benefits.

I offer therapy sessions online via secure video. Telehealth platform can be accessed on my website. Please reach out for scheduling.
