Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing

I help people who are experiencing

  • depressive symptoms lack of motivation, low mood

  •  anger  issues

  • anxiety symptoms, constant worry

  • feelings of indecision or a sense of feeling stuck

  • sadness and feelings of loss

These feelings can occur due to loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, confusion about the future, negative experiences in the past and conflict in relationships among many other challenging life circumstances. 

Whatever your needs may be, I am here to listen and learn about your unique personal experiences and  help you become aware of and identify patterns of thought and behavior that aren't serving you anymore. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote emotional and behavioral transformation by  encouraging my clients to tell their story and really feel heard. I help them identify patterns in thought and behavior that maintain negative feelings about themselves and others. I also work with clients to develop a new  more positive relationship with themselves and facilitate the adoption of new attitudes  and responses to stress and conflict.

The areas of my interest and professional pursuit are in treating depression and anxiety disorder, complex trauma, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) mindfulness based interventions, adult-attachment styles, adverse childhood experiences and human life-stage development. I teach clients valuable tools and share my  professional experience to help you gain a sense of confidence and well-being.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE NOTICE

Beginning January 1, 2022, federal laws regulating patient care include the No Surprises Act. Pursuant to this Act, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance a “Good Faith Estimate” of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
