Individual Therapy
Every therapist has a unique style – there is evidence that suggests that the ‘success’ of therapy often is determined as much by the client/therapist relationship as it is the particular style or training of the therapist!
The main thing I bring to therapy is myself and my experience. As strange as it might sound, I think therapy can be fun. Working in home hospice and dealing every day with death and grief, I was amazed how life goes on. This means that even in our pain we have moments of light, humor, and warm connection to others. I strive to model this and make room for it in my practice.
My areas of specialty:
Dealing with diagnosis of an illness
Widow/widower transitions
Caregiver stress
Divorce
Grief due to family addiction/loss due to addiction
Traumatic loss, including suicide, accident, violence
Finally, I have a wide range of experience in spiritual issues related to death, dying and loss. I do NOT advocate at certain religious tradition, but am passionate about the relationship of loss to your religious or spiritual background and meaning-making in general. I work with clients of every religious or non-religious background.
Some facts about my sessions:
Typically, I see individuals, but I will see family members in session as ‘support’ for my clients. Though I am not a couples’ therapist, I will see couples as part of a ‘family therapy’ model
I see clients from 14 years old through 90 or older
My sessions typically run 50-60 minutes
Fee: $180/hour. I do not take insurance, though I am happy to provide invoices/statements to submit to insurance as an out of network provider.
I maintain 2 places in my schedule for clients at $60/hour
