Get experienced guidance on the path to self-empowerment with the right form of support below.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Professional certified coaching holds profound benefits for individuals seeking a greater sense of purpose, fulfillment and success in any area of life. Session by session, we’ll incorporate habits and strategies that help you achieve your goals, expand your self-awareness, optimize your internal dialogue and elevate your style of communication—so you can move forward in an empowering way.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual psychotherapy is an immensely helpful resource for individuals struggling with ongoing or acute mental-health issues, such as grief, trauma and clinical anxiety and depression. As a licensed psychotherapist proficient in several modalities (cognitive behavioral, somatic, polyvagal, etc.), I can pinpoint the root causes of your distress and then establish appropriate coping strategies, so you can start to live the full and functional life you deserve.

COUPLES THERAPY

Relationships are like ecosystems; every part needs to stay balanced if you want your love to live and grow. Drawing upon over 15 years of experience, I work with couples to quickly identify the problem and steadily rebuild security, trust and love.

Have Questions? Find Answers In The Faqs Below.

Where do individual therapy/coaching sessions occur?

Individual sessions are either conducted remotely via phone/Zoom or in person at my office.
Where do couple therapy sessions occur?

I require that the initial session occur in office, as this helps me get a more nuanced read on a couple’s body language and allows me to establish a new, better dynamic. Attending at least three sessions in my office before engaging in remote sessions is also preferred.
How do I determine whether I need coaching or therapy?

If you generally function well in life, but feel stuck in one area or another, professional coaching could benefit you immensely. If you are suffering from post-traumatic stress or experiencing ongoing/acute mental-health issues, therapy is the best avenue to pursue.
How do your approaches to coaching and therapy differ?

As a coach, I work collaboratively with my clients on expanding awareness and clarifying thought processes with reframing language. We also identify measurable, achievable and observable goals and come up with strategies on how to achieve them. As a psychotherapist, I rapidly assess my client’s emotional state and work with them for as long as needed on identifying and addressing the causes of distress. Once a therapeutic alliance has been established, I may also incorporate coaching if appropriate.
Can I attend the first session of couples therapy alone?

I require both individuals to attend the first session. This helps ensure that each partner begins on equal footing and that I’m able to gain the best understanding of the problem at hand.
How long is a session?

Coaching sessions are 50 minutes. Couples therapy sessions are 90 minutes, with the exception of one 60-minute session for each partner receiving couples therapy.
What is the standard fee for coaching/therapy?

The fee for individual sessions is $250. Please note there are three initial sessions for couples therapy, which are considered an assessment period. The first session is 90 minutes with the couple, and then I will see each partner individually for 60 minutes. The fee for the individual appointment as part of couples therapy is $250. The third session entails a joint session for 90 minutes, during which I finalize my assessment. Also note, I do ask couples to take the Gottman Relationship Test, which is provided by email after the initial visit for a fee of $40.
90 minute sessions : $500 and 60 minute sessions: $400 — this price break down is only for couples.
Does insurance cover my session?
Although clients experience profound mental health benefits from coaching, health insurance companies will typically only cover therapy. I do not bill insurance companies, so if you plan to seek third-party reimbursement, please contact your insurance company prior to the first session and ask the following questions:
- What percentage of my bill will be covered for the care of an out-of-network provider?
- How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?
- What is my deductible?
- What is my co-payment?
What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept cash, personal checks, Zelle and Venmo. I do not accept credit cards at this time.
What if I need to cancel a session?

You may cancel up to 48 hours prior to your appointment without a penalty fee.
