My Approach
Types of Therapy:
I utilize modalities in my practice with evidence-based research to support treatment. I primarily utilize the following therapies:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
-
Exposure Response Prevention
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion
​
About Diagnosis:
Diagnoses provide a helpful framework for understanding our experiences and can guide treatment decisions. However, humans are much more complex. Diagnostic criteria rarely reflect the entirety of an individual's experience. I strive to use diagnoses as one tool to support treatment but not the only framework. I incorporate a transdiagnostic approach to treatment with the goal of supporting clients in learning skills to navigate and allow difficult emotions rather than avoiding them and to be able to move towards valued living.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
- Viktor Frankl

Training:
I have completed trainings and consultation with the International OCD Foundation, consultation with IOCDF, The Center for Anxiety & Behavior Therapy, the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science, Postpartum Support International, PESI, CBT School, and EMDRIA. I participate in ongoing training and consultation in order to improve my practice.
​
Cost of Treatment:
Some individuals prefer to use insurance while others prefer to pay for therapy out of pocket. Insurance may allow clients to attend therapy more frequently by lowering the cost. However, insurance requires that individuals receive a diagnosis in order to cover services and may request documentation. For this reason, some clients prefer to not to use insurance. I am in-network with the following insurance plans:
· Aetna
· United Healthcare
· Oxford
· Oscar Health
​
Out of network costs are:
· 50 minute individual initial assessment: $175
· 50 minute ongoing individual therapy: $160
