My Services
My offerings below are based on the following compassionate methods-- To understand how beliefs and emotions shape behavior, I rely on cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychodynamic techniques reveal the subconscious "stuff" learned as children. I also use somatic (body) and intuition (gut feeling) practices to grow the mind-body connection. At the end of each session, I assign homework, actionable steps, for you to implement new skills and develop tools that lead to noticeable change
Group Therapy
I offer in-person sessions made up of two or more individuals. Together we will define the purpose and goals of our group. Group work creates a space in which we can learn from and support others at the same time. My style is to highlight our shared experiences and emotions to encourage connection and open communication.
Animal Assisted Intervention
I am excited to provide this specialized experience with the finest co-therapists one could hope for! In their divinity, animals naturally possess wonderful lessons to share with us. An animal assistant is available to join session, offering opportunities for observation and interaction with a unique energy. Inquire within to learn about the details of this type of session.
Animal Intuition with Pets
I am also available to consult with you and your pet/s. In this type of session, I tap the individual psychology of you and your animal to understand how you relate to one another. I operate on an intuitive level as well to get a sense for why your dynamic is as it is. A consultation like this is helpful to identify the root of your pet’s concerning behaviors that cause distress and interfere with your ability to enjoy each other.
What will this look like?
Know that you will gain an advocate who shows you what rooting for yourself looks like. You can expect a directive approach as well as teamwork. Expect homework to practice skills between sessions. Together, we will work through places where you feel "stuck" in a way that allows you to feel seen and heard in safety.

I accept several health insurance plans including Aetna, Optum, UHC, Oxford, Oscar, BCBS, Anthem. If I am out of your network, I am happy to provide invoices for you to file claims with your insurance company for reimbursement. Feel free to ask about payment according to a sliding scale and we can discuss.
