I can help you to move past feeling overwhelmed and stuck, through a close therapeutic relationship, deeper self-understanding, and practical ways of handling your thoughts and emotions.

The pain of the past isn’t fading, and you feel stuck.

“I am exasperated and overwhelmed”
“I am lost in life and feel like a stranger to myself”
“I struggle with anxiety and self-blaming every day”
“I keep sabotaging myself and relationships”
“Sometimes I feel numb and depressed, other times my emotions seem out of control”

Naturally, you feel robbed of your own well-being and frustrated after your unsuccessful attempts to change how you feel.

There is a great deal at stake here…do nothing and the problem becomes entrenched, or spirals downward and further diminishes your quality of life.

But the truth is, You are not alone in this. The way you feel right now need not be permanent.

People change, you can change, the way you experience life can change.

I am here to help through an intensive and integrated approach

My approach to therapy, gets to the root causes of your pains via an essential combination of “top-down” and “bottom-up” therapy.

“Top-down” refers to one-to-one psychodynamic therapy – an intensive, interactive relationship that leads to insight and emotional resilience.

“Bottom-up” refers to somatically oriented approaches such as EMDR, neurofeedback, and mindful practices.

This combination of top-down and bottom-up facilitates healing at the levels of psyche and soma – mind and body, where painful experiences equally reside.

Things get better

  • As you develop an ability to regulate your emotions you develop a more relaxed way of being.

  • You experience more peace and less anxiety, more hope and fewer moments of despair.

  • With the change in how you feel, you start to feel more solid and confident in yourself, knowing you are making progress.

This can create an upward spiral that affects every aspect of your life.

You can be free from the grips anxiety, depression & trauma!

Effective Therapy Can Help Transform The Way You Experience Life

I offer therapy for:

Individuals Who Suffer the Effects of Past Traumatic Experiences

I know how frustrating it can be when you’re in a combative state with your thoughts. They don’t seem to turn off. You feel on-edge, blame yourself for things, and relationships don’t feel safe.

We can work to get at the root of these experiences through an integrated approach that addresses and heals the problem at multiple levels.

Individuals Who Want Lasting Change in Themselves to Feel More Alive

You might feel that others don’t really know you or see you as you are. You might have a sense of losing yourself or being used and set aside in relationships.

Or questions of who you are and what you want in life are persistent and drag you down. Psychodynamic therapy is the evidence-based therapy of choice for such long-term problems.

Individuals Who Want to Integrate Spirituality More Deeply into their Lives, or Heal the Wounds of Spiritual Pain and Abuse

Spirituality offers a fuller engagement with life for many. However you define it and whether or not it is a part of any specific tradition, you may want to explore and cultivate a spiritual dimension as part of therapy.

For many others, however, religion is the problem. It can be associated with abuse, family conflict, and long-term self-doubt. I am highly experienced and well-trained to integrate these important matters into our work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • My fee is $275 per session

  • I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

    If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

    I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

  • Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is for the following reasons:

    (A) In order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

    (B) Insurance can put limitations on the number of therapy sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

    (C) An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going, and at any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

    (D) And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people. Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

    If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

  • In the first session, I’ll ask you to tell me about the experiences that led to your decision to seek help, and about the aims you have for therapy. Listening closely to you, I’ll then offer my own initial sense of your experience, and my thoughts on how we might proceed. I’ll tell you about how I work and answer any questions that are on your mind. Importantly, in this first session, you begin to get a feel for what it would be like to work together.

  • I played drums professionally for many years and still play occasionally. I also travel to India and Turkey annually, and offer psychotherapeutic adventure tours in the Himalayas and South India once or twice a year.
