The first session is an initial evaluation. In this session, I work to understand your current concerns, values, strengths, and challenges. I will then lay out treatment options, and we will discuss what works best for you. From there, we set goals for therapy together. It is also a chance to build trust and make sure you are comfortable with my style. After the first session, therapy is typically weekly, hour long sessions. In many cases, I also incorporate tools such as questionnaires to track improvements and help us understand how your symptoms change over time.

CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In particular, it is based on evidence that psychological problems result from unhelpful thought patterns. We will work together to reduce emotional distress, and increase skills, confidence and motivation. CBT is one of the most well-known therapies, and has been show to be effective for nearly all symptoms and diagnoses.

IPT focuses on social relationships and life events that contribute to symptoms. Therapy works to develop strategies for managing stressful situations and building social support. The approach is less structured than CBT and used widely across the world. IPT is especially helpful for depression, adjustment disorders and grief.

IPSRT incorporates elements of IPT to reveal how life events and social interactions are linked to symptoms. In addition, we will work on regulating daily routines and circadian rhythm (i.e., sleep). IPSRT is primarily used to treat bipolar disorder. It has been shown to reduce current symptoms and future episodes.

Good Faith Estimates
Good Faith Estimates
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for health care items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before or after you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
