As a telehealth therapist, I offer individual psychotherapy services for adults (ages 18 and older) via secure, online video conferencing (and telephone, when needed).
Telepsychology services have been shown to be as effective as in-person therapy for many patients and for many types of problems, though it may not be a good fit for every person or for every type of problem. If needed, I will provide a referral to another provider for in-person treatment.
My areas of clinical focus include: anxiety disorders, insomnia, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness, aging, and Parkinson's disease. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based, and self-compassion-based therapies. Treatment is informed by research evidence when possible and personalized to suit your goals and preferences.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your main concern and your goals. After this initial assessment, I will recommend a treatment plan. Treatment can be hard work, involving out-of-session practice and the natural discomfort that comes with facing uncomfortable feelings, modifying unhelpful thoughts, and changing behaviors. I aim to walk with you on your health journey, providing a balance of challenge and support to help you meet your goals.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
Notice to clients and prospective clients:
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients 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 health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
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, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
