Psychotherapy, Clinical Supervision, and Professional Consultation
I provide in-depth psychotherapy for neurodivergent adults navigating the challenges of living in a culture with neuro-normative expectations. I find it particularly rewarding to help those who struggle with obsessive rumination and intrusive, unwanted thoughts find the clarity and self-trust that can provide profound relief. I work from a person-centered, humanistic, and trauma-informed framework that takes seriously how you make meaning, relate to others, and understand yourself. I welcome those who are LGBTQ+, queer, gender-queer, and clients from all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. My approach is a good fit for individuals who value the deep exploration of self and experience that can help us to live lives that feel authentic, meaningful, and genuine.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl Rogers

I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals 18 and older. The focus of my practice is supporting neurodivergent adults, as well as those who have experienced complex trauma, loss, and grief, and who struggle with anxiety, anxious rumination, and intrusive, unwanted thoughts. The standard fee for a 55 minute session is $195. I care about making therapy accessible, and reserve a few spaces in my practice for clients who cannot afford my full fee. I am in-network with several major commercial insurance providers, including most BCBS plans. Please read more about my approach to psychotherapy in these pages, and feel free to reach out to me with any of your questions, including any questions you have about insurance and payment.

A statement on the use of AI in my practice
There’s no question that AI can be useful, especially for those of us with disabilities, or in the generally busy and exhausting (and often beautiful) world we live in. However, I do have concerns about the use of AI in therapy and the encroachment of venture-capitalist-backed technology into the field of psychotherapy and counseling, due both to privacy concerns and concerns with fair treatment and pay for mental health professionals. I also believe that therapy is a deeply and inherently relational process, one that cannot be replaced by a machine, and that such an attempt carries the potential for serious harm. As such, I do not use AI in any aspect of my direct work with clients, my communication with clients, nor in developing documentation specific to my clients. I continue to use AI for assistance with certain administrative tasks such as developing parts of this website and other marketing materials, researching general psychological or counseling topics, and other administrative tasks not directly related to my clinical work. I take my legal and ethical responsibilities to protect client privacy and confidentially very seriously. I also take seriously the importance of genuine and authentic human connection, and believe deeply that such connection is the most vital and necessary ingredient of effective psychotherapy.
