I believe that the most durable and effective route to change and healing lies in learning how to ‘be with’ our immediate and direct experience from a place of open-hearted awareness. Although I draw on a number of modalities, this is the common thread that unites them all.
My Approach
I primarily rely on Internal Family Systems (IFS) as my framework for therapy. In this approach, we see all parts of us, no matter how challenging, as trying to help us in some way. When we begin to see our difficulties and patterns through this lens, understanding and compassion are a natural response. We begin to unwind the layers of shame, guilt, and fear that bind us, and start to recover the lightness, joy, and spontaneity that are our birthright.
In addition to IFS, I utilize tools and skills from Gestalt therapy, somatic therapies, and mindfulness and contemplative practices. These approaches center the body and present-moment experience as a direct path to awareness, insight and growth. I also have training and background in supporting individuals who are integrating psychedelic experiences or other experiences in non-ordinary states of consciousness. I do not provide psychedelic therapy at this time.

Other Important Info
-
Insurance
I am out of network for all insurance policies. However, many plans offer out-of-network benefits for psychotherapy and I can provide you with a superbill at the end of each month to file for reimbursement. Contact your insurance provider about your coverage if out-of-pocket pay is not a feasible option for you.
-
Cancellation Policy
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions missed without 24+ hours notice will be billed in full, except in cases of true emergency and severe, unexpected illness.
-
Security
I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant subscription to Zoom for therapy sessions. I also use a secure, HIPAA-compliant payment system that was explicitly designed for therapists and your credit card information will never be visible to me. All email communication is encrypted.
