Individual Psychotherapy

You deserve more than symptom management, and more than just "someone to talk to". Effective therapy can help you understand the patterns driving your distress, build skills you’ll use for the rest of your life, and work toward the version of yourself you want to become.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its evidence-based extensions (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches) delivered in a collaborative, structured, and tailored approach.

My Approach

My work is biopsychosocial, meaning that I don’t just look at mental health in isolation. I consider the biological, psychological, social, and structural factors shaping your experience. I explain not only what skills to try, but why they work, because clients who understand the mechanisms behind their treatment tend to do better.

Standard Therapy

Sessions are typically weekly and 55 minutes at $295 per session. A standard course of CBT for most psychological problems is 12–20 sessions, though many clients continue beyond that. You should expect to notice meaningful change within the first 2–3 months. The initial sessions address your presenting problem. However, continued work tends to go deeper, addreessing patterns, relationships, identity, and performance in ways that shorter-term therapy cannot.

Intensive Therapy

For clients who need to feel better faster due to an acute problem, time-sensitive life or work demands, or a desire to reduce extended periods of impaired functioning, I also offer Intensive Therapy. Intensive Therapy consists of twice-weekly 55-minute sessions and is designed for high-demand professionals and others for whom standard weekly pacing is not sufficient.

The rationale for more frequent sessions is based on the psychotherapy outcome literature. Two large meta-analyses, one examining 70 randomized controlled trials (Cuijpers et al., 2013) and a more recent replication across 176 randomized controlled trials and over 15,000 participants (Ciharova, Cuijpers et al., 2024) found that moving from one to two sessions per week produced greater benefits on depression outcomes, even when the total number of sessions was held constant. In other words, it isn't just about doing more therapy, people who compressed the same amount of therapy into a shorter window got better faster. Another systematic review found that higher session frequency is associated with faster recovery trajectories across common mental health presentations (Robinson, Delgadillo, & Kellett, 2020).

Beyond symptom relief, untreated or undertreated mental health difficulties have occupational costs. For professionals whose time and performance are at a premium, Intensive Therapy can produce improvements in mood on a faster timeline, getting you back to functioning at your highest level as soon as possible. At $495 per session, Intensive Therapy costs more per session than standard therapy. It also gets you better faster; two sessions per week compresses progress that would otherwise take months into weeks. The higher fee reflects the increased time, scheduling demands, and treatment planning of twice-weekly treatment. Intensive Therapy is not appropriate for everyone and suitability is determined at intake.
