Psychotherapy
All appointments offered virtually
As a therapist, my aim is to help you understand yourself through a more compassionate lens and change behaviors and thoughts that no longer serve you. Together, we will examine your past and present relationships (familial, romantic, platonic) to better understand your current emotional distress. My approach is to deeply listen and understand your struggle. Being truly heard transforms and gives meaning to your negative beliefs and thoughts—and through that, you can change.

FAQs
-
A: It is similar to in-person therapy, but instead of being in my office, you meet with me from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you may be. I will provide you with a link to a HIPAA-secure platform where our session will remain completely confidential. Most people I’ve worked with report that they either like it as much as in-person therapy, and some even prefer it due to its convenience. That said, for some, in-person therapy offers certain advantages, which I completely appreciate and respect.

A: Logotherapy is a modality of treatment created by Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and author of Man’s Search for Meaning. The premise of this treatment is that humans are ultimately driven by meaning, and many of the neuroses or symptoms we struggle with are rooted in drifting away from a life aligned with deeper meaning. Our callings, values, and meanings differ widely, and discovering what helps you find purpose and fulfillment can enrich your life. It’s not about avoiding pain, but rather about finding meaning even in difficult times. It’s also not about seeking pleasure but rather about finding a deeper sense of purpose that creates lasting contentment and happiness. I am currently enrolled in a diploma program at the Viktor Frankl Institute of Ireland.

A: Harm reduction is an approach that seeks to reduce the harm that substances may cause while continuing to explore your relationship with those substances. My approach goes beyond harm reduction, however, and aims to help you understand what your substance of choice (SOC) does for you, how it may interfere with your goals and values, and help you gain a better understanding of whether, and how much, of it you want in your life.
-
A: No, I do not accept insurance for group therapy. The reason for this is that the nature of this group and its format does not meet the specific guidelines for a therapy group, as it is considered more of a psychoeducational and process-oriented group.
-
A: Yes, I offer harm reduction coaching after you complete the group. This involves weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly check-ins where we will develop goals, discuss your progress, review your values and purpose-driven work, and design personalized plans for harm reduction to support your goals. I am also currently developing a second, more advanced Harm Reduction Group for those who have completed the introductory group.
