• Psychotherapy Services

    I currently provide individual psychotherapy in English to adults via telehealth only. I'm not fluent in other languages to competently provide therapy. Telehealth is provided primarily through video but can be by phone if lack of internet access or privacy is an issue.

    Pricing

    Individual Therapy & Intake Telehealth Sessions - $175.00

    Sliding Scale

    I believe everyone should have access to therapy regardless of income so I like to offer a sliding scale fee for people when I can. Please contact me directly to discuss this.

  • Therapeutic Approach

    My therapeutic approach is eclectic and integrative which means I combine different approaches and selectively apply them to best fit your needs. Evidence based treatment simply means a majority of participants in studies showed improvement during those treatments, which is helpful for showing something works. That means there are multiple effective techniques but does not necessarily mean those treatments will work for you, that you will be comfortable with them, or believe they are helpful. Because of that I am flexible and open to your feedback to make adjustments when necessary.

     

    I explain more about the therapies, techniques, and theories I draw from below.

  • COVID-19 Protocol

    I don't currently have an office where I see clients in person.

     

    If I obtain office space to see clients in person in the future, I will still primarily see clients via telehealth and these will be the COVID-19 safety protocols:

    • I will wear an N95 elastomeric respirator in office at all times. I also wear it in public out of the office, especially indoors and also outdoors when other people are present.
    • Clients will be required to wear a KN95 mask or better. N95 respirators preferred and available in office. If a client has a medical condition preventing masking, the client will have to show a negative COVID-19 test and the minimum time between sessions to air out and use UVC light will be doubled to 1 hour.
    • Air purifiers with HEPA filters turned on in every room.
    • The office will have good ventilation, monitored by CO2 monitors aiming to keep concentration below 800 ppm.
    • The office will have windows that will remain open so long as privacy can be maintained. If it can't remain open during sessions, it will be opened between sessions.
    • Minimum of 30 minutes between sessions to air out the room.
    • UVC light used in office after sessions.
    • I am and will stay up to date on vaccinations. That means I've gotten the first initial 2 doses and continue to get an updated dose at least yearly, aiming to get vaccinated every 6 months as long as they'll let me. There have been times the U.S. considered only allowing 1 yearly dose and there are some countries that only allow "vulnerable groups" to receive a dose.
    • Clients with any symptom and known or suspected exposure in the past 10 days will have to be seen via telehealth or reschedule until they they test negative and have no symptoms.
