WORKING WITH YOU

Therapy is an experience unlike any other and the hardest part is getting started.  If you are searching for a therapist, there is a good chance you are looking for a new perspective or approach to an aspect of your life that isn't working. You may be wanting to feel differently towards a part of yourself or the people in your life.  Cultivating a space where you feel fully heard and acknowledged while sharing thoughts, feelings, events, and ideas can be a powerful experience that inspires surprising changes.  I work with my clients to bring awareness to patterns of relating to self and others that may have historically worked well.  In creating new ways of living in the world, my intention is to support the growth of flexibility and help build a foundation from which you are able to make conscious and freeing choices.

I invite complex people facing difficult issues, and tend to work in the following areas:

  • Relationship issues

  • Persistent depression or anxiety

  • Challenges related to life transitions

  • Grief/Loss

  • Trauma

  • Chronic pain or illness

  • Low self-esteem and identity issues

  • Religious or spirituality trauma or questioning

  • EMDR

  • Postpartum and parenting support

  • Couples therapy

WORKING WITH YOU AND YOUR PARTNER

Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of joy in our lives. They can also be where we feel the most hurt, misunderstood, or alone. When couples come to therapy, they're often tired of having the same conversations over and over again or feeling like they keep missing each other despite their best efforts. My role is to help slow those moments down so we can understand what's actually happening between you—not just what is being said, but what each of you is longing for, protecting, or struggling to express. As those patterns become clearer, new ways of relating to one another begin to emerge.

My work with couples draws from my training in Gestalt therapy, depth work with relational trauma, and completion of Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy Level 1 certification. I'm also influenced by the work of Esther Perel and Imago Relationship Therapy, which continue to shape the way I think about intimacy, communication, and lasting change. Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your ability to communicate with openness, repair after conflict, and deepen the connection that brought you together in the first place. The goal is a relationship built on greater understanding, authenticity, and care—one where both partners feel more connected to themselves and to each other.

If you are struggling with one of these issues or seeking support during a difficult time, please contact me to see how we may work together.  

PAYMENT AND OUT-OF-NETWORK INSURANCE

I offer an initial phone consultation at no charge and can be contacted for availability. Finding the right therapist can often feel daunting.  I'm sensitive to this and welcome all questions and inquiries.

My fee is $300 for a 45-50 minute individual session and $350 for a 60 minute couples session. I accept payment in the form of check, cash or credit card.  I offer a sliding scale when possible for clients with financial restrictions and will discuss this with you in our initial consultation.

*My rates for Nebraska based clients are different than for New York based clients.

If you'd like to use health insurance, I can work with you to understand your coverage.  While I do not accept any insurances in network, my services are partially reimbursable (up to 70% depending on your insurance plan) through out-of-network insurance coverage.  At the end of each month, I provide you with an invoice outlining the information requested by insurance companies to submit an out-of-network mental health claim for reimbursement. 

Questions for your insurance to determine your coverage:

  1. Do I have out of network mental health coverage for outpatient services?

  2. If so, what is my deductible and have I met any of it yet this year?

  3. After meeting my deductible, at what percentage am I reimbursed?

  4. How do I file a claim for reimbursement? Can I submit online or is there an address to which I send the claim?
