Therapy Settings

Therapy is offered in a private practice setting designed for focus, depth, and clarity. Sessions occur either in person or through secure telehealth, with the same standard of clinical rigor and emotional steadiness in both formats. The work centers on insight, emotional understanding, and the relational patterns that shape daily life. Each person arrives with a different history, level of readiness, and set of needs; therapy meets those conditions with structure rather than prescription. When outpatient therapy is no longer the appropriate level of care, referrals are made to ensure continuity, safety, and the right clinical fit.

Therapy Sessions and Continuity of Care

Therapy sessions provide a structured and reflective space for emotional insight, relational understanding, and personal growth. Care is offered in a private practice environment with consistent clinical standards across in-person and telehealth meetings. Clients arriving from hospital settings or participating in hospital diversion are welcomed into a steadier, more focused setting for continued therapeutic work.

Sessions emphasize clarity, emotional steadiness, and the complexity of each individual’s history. When outpatient treatment is no longer the right fit, referrals to higher levels of care are arranged to ensure appropriate support, especially when clients are unable to continue safely at this level of treatment. The goal is continuity, stability, and the correct clinical setting at every stage.

Insurance and Financing

Care is provided on an out-of-network basis to preserve privacy, autonomy, and individualized treatment planning. Documentation is available for clients who wish to use out-of-network insurance benefits, HSAs, or FSAs. Many prefer the confidentiality and freedom that come with working outside the constraints of managed care. Rates and reimbursement options are discussed transparently so that access remains practical and straightforward.

Mental Health Care Across Settings and Lifespan Needs

Mental health care is grounded in doctoral-level training and informed by clinical work across community settings, professional organizations, and specialized assessment roles. Treatment is highly individualized, centered around a limited number of clients to maintain depth, continuity, and meaningful engagement. The practice primarily serves adults and families, with select work involving children who are navigating complex transitions or emotional strain.

Collaboration with prescribing providers supports medication management when needed for symptom reduction or stabilization. This coordinated approach ensures that psychological, emotional, and medical perspectives remain aligned, creating a complete, steady framework for healing and long-term well-being.

The Role of Clinical Psychology

Clinical psychology sits at the intersection of science, narrative, and emotional understanding. The work draws from psychodynamic perspectives, narrative therapy, and emotion-focused approaches, guided by the belief that insight—not symptom management alone—creates lasting change. Assessment is integrated into treatment to clarify patterns, illuminate internal dynamics, and offer language for experiences that often feel nameless. Whether in individual therapy, couples counseling, or leadership development, the aim is to help people understand themselves more deeply and move through life with steadiness, intention, and a clearer sense of direction.

Treatment Planning Through Assessments

A treatment plan is shaped through clinical assessment, reflective dialogue, and an ongoing review of themes emerging across sessions. Assessment data provide a structured form for understanding patterns, clarifying emotional themes, and tracking progress over time. Each plan is tailored to individual needs, delineating goals, therapeutic direction, and the supports required for sustained growth.

Treatment planning integrates narrative material, emotional responses, relational dynamics, and daily functioning. The aim is to treat challenges with precision while cultivating insight and resilience. Progress is reviewed regularly so clients can see the impact of the work and maintain a clear account of their development across sessions.

Whether in individual therapy, marriage counseling, or career counseling, my goal is to help people understand themselves more deeply and cultivate meaningful change. Therapists are not problem solvers alone—they are collaborators in insight and self-discovery.
