Therapy

I’m looking to conduct short-term therapy with clients who want to work on anxiety, self-esteem, depression, boundaries, motivation, life changes, sexual dysfunction (primarily men), relationship issues, or do Brainspotting (BSP). BSP is similar to EMDR in its ability to help access your subcortical brain for deep emotional processing that goes beyond just talk therapy. BSP can be done as part of regular talk therapy or as a standalone service. Book a consultation with me to discuss more! | $180/hr individual, $200/hr couples | $150/hr or $75 for half hour for BSP as a standalone service | I also take Aetna, Cigna, and Optum!
