Therapy is variable and dependent on the severity of symptoms and the goals of the clients. Most individuals and couples find that 5 to 12 sessions give them the tools they need to feel better fast (the total investment is less than most people spend on home or car maintenance in a year).

Some people continue with a bi-weekly or monthly check-in to fine-tune their skills. The important thing to remember is that you are in control of your sessions – how long, how often, and when you are ready to take a break or to end our time together.

I am an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. If you have insurance coverage for mental health, ask your provider if you are covered for out-of-network individual or “family” sessions with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I accept direct payment via credit, debit or HSA card, cash, or check and will provide you with a detailed medical receipt (a “superbill”) which you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or to count towards your out-of-pocket expenses for the plan year.

Individual intake appointments and subsequent sessions are $150.

Couples intake appointments are $200 and subsequent sessions are $150. Couples sessions include access to the Gottman Relationship Check-up.

​I value accessibility regardless of income level. Please inquire with questions regarding reduced-fee appointments that are available.

Absolutely!

Research shows that couples who go through premarital counseling have a higher relationship satisfaction and greater buffer for stress later on. Plus, going through premarital counseling when things are going well is much more enjoyable!

Premarital counseling is the “preventive medicine” for the relationship. You are likely investing thousands in your “special day”. Premarital counseling is an investment for a better relationship, which in turn contributes to a happier and healthier life.

While friends and family can offer perspectives, a therapist offers clinical, research-based approaches and has gone through extensive training. A therapist offers a safe and judgment-free space to identify relational patterns, gain insight into behavioral and emotional patterns, and promote long-lasting change.

For anyone seeking to build better relationships, whether single and searching, or as a couple -therapy is about learning how to break out of old, destructive patterns of relating, heal from past relationship wounds, and create conversations that lead to deeper connections. A therapist trained to work specifically with couples can help you do that.

Finally - therapy is all about you! Our work together is completely focused on your issues and goals.

Based on the research of John and Julie Gottman (married 35 years in 2023). They studied over 40,000 couples to find out what makes some couples successful and others not (“masters” vs. “disasters”). They perfected a method of therapeutically working with couples to achieve more empathy and connection to revitalize early feelings of respect and build deeper connections. These skills become the basis for helping couples push past the stagnancy often felt in long-term marriages and heal from many common relationship issues, such as infidelity, broken trust, gridlocked conflicts, and more.

The process starts with a thorough assessment of the relationship to quickly identify the vulnerabilities and strengths in the current relationship before looking forward to where the couple wants to be.
