The Type of Therapy I Provide
A seasoned professional with 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I provide private psychotherapy services for adults. I am a feminist therapist by my own predisposition and also by training. One of the things this means is that I pay close attention to the therapeutic relationship, and invite my clients to participate fully in guiding the direction our work will take.
My areas of expertise include working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and other kinds of emotional and physical abuse, providing therapy for adult children of alcoholics and others who grew up in dysfunctional families, supporting those who are dealing with chronic illness, and helping people who are interested in improving their relationships with others. Most of my clients are women; a large proportion of my clients are lesbian/gay, bisexual, or questioning their sexual identity.
My approach to providing therapy is an eclectic one, in which I tailor my style to meet the needs of each individual. I come to this work with a profound respect for the individuals seeking my help, and with a deep understanding of the courage it takes to ask a professional for help with personal problems.

Fees and Reimbursement
I offer my clients the option of a sliding fee scale, which is based on income and number of dependents. Usually this scale allows us to arrive at a fee which is affordable to the prospective client. Generally, my fees range from $25 to $90 for a 50-minute session. Because I believe strongly in the importance of confidentiality and in the rights of clients, in consultation with their therapists, to direct the course and duration of their treatment, I have chosen not to participate in any HMO networks. However, many types of insurance will allow you to get a certain percentage of my fees reimbursed to you.
