SERVICES
Individual Therapy
I work with individuals who have faced many difficulties including anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, trauma, relationship issues, shame, identity exploration, and the search for meaning. Whatever issues you are facing, I provide a safe, validating environment for you to explore your way-of-being in the world. We’ll collaborate to help you experience the emotional, cognitive, and philosophical shifts to bring you more peace and happiness.
Couples Therapy
Let’s work together to increase communication, deepen connection, promote a sense of safety, and foster emotional intimacy between you and your partner. As you better understand your relationship dynamic, you can begin to build the relationship you desire. In addition to exploring your relationship dynamic, my work with couples always includes providing concrete tools to help you communicate more effectively and fight more productively.
PTSD Treatment: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
For individuals experiencing post traumatic stress disorder due to exposure to or witnessing actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence or rape, I offer an evidence-based treatment to help you move through PTSD called cognitive processing therapy. This therapy will give you the skills to compassionately challenge the understandable beliefs about yourself and the world that come out of a trauma like this. At first, these beliefs are your efforts to make sense of the trauma and keep yourself safe in the future. However, these beliefs end up limiting your life and keeping you stuck in PTSD. Through CPT, you will learn how to be with the difficult emotions from the trauma and generate balanced beliefs that account for your safety without feeling overly limited as you continue to live your life. This therapy is administered over 10-14 sessions, with some clients not even needing the full course to feel recovered from PTSD. Here is a link to a podcast that some of my clients have found helpful in understanding what the process of CPT looks like.
Telehealth Services
While I work in-person with clients in Pasadena, I also offer sessions via private online video chat. Telehealth has many benefits, including eliminating commute time for you as the client and allowing for more ease in rescheduling and moving appointments.
Session Fees
My fee is $200 per 50-minute session, and I generally see clients weekly in order to keep the therapy moving forward. I am not empaneled with any health insurance companies. However, if your insurance covers therapy sessions, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company yourself for reimbursement.
