Personal Statement :
|
Sometimes life takes on a "life" of its own. Things can become overwhelming, relationships become strained, work or school become more difficult and you need someone to help you sort things out. Therapy is an excellent way to receive the support and space you need to help figure things out! As a feminist therapist I specialize in helping women who are going through life transitions, a major life crisis or who are dealing with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, sad, struggling in relationships or who have gone through a traumatic event. I am also a trauma expert and can help you if you have gone through traumatic events or had a bad childhood that interferes in your ability to have strong relationships now.
I have over 25 years experience helping women, teens and families find their way through overwhelming or difficult circumstances. Much of my work has focused on survivors of rape/sexual assault and childhood abuse, particularly sexual abuse, incest, and physical & psychological/verbal abuse. I have also dealt with many people who suffer because they were neglected, had alcoholic/drug addicted parents or who were physically abused and now feel a sense of disconnect or low self-worth as a result. Abuse in childhood reaks havock on adult relationships, can impact your experiences in education, the work place and often leads to drug and alcohol abuse. I also deal with couples and families trying to deal with overwhelming circumstances or strained relationships.
If you are struggling because of a problem that is causing you to feel overwhelmed, stressed, is creating difficulties in your relationships or you are needing to improve your self-esteem, please call me! I can help! I look forward to speaking with you and I believe I can make a difference in your life! It takes someone who is knowledgable, skilled and who has also gone through overwhelming life circumstances successfully to be able to exact the kinds of lasting changes that will make a difference in your own life too. I can offer this to you. I look forward to your call. Call me right now because my voicemail is on 24/7. I or one of my 3 other colleagues will call you back within 12 hours max!

I work with individuals, children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and I also run support groups. My clients are typically women who are having problems with depression, anxiety, relationships, changes in life or life transitions.

I do work with depression, anxiety, trauma, childhood abuse, grief/loss, relationship issues, parenting support, mood disorders, PTSD, and dissociative disorders. As stated before, as a team we serve a wide variety of clients and help people with a variety of different issues. If I am not skilled in a certain area, then I have another therapist who is! Call us, we can help!

Payments/Condition :
|
|
You get what you pay for. If you want better services, you pay for them, but don't let that scare you! We do work with you to make therapy accessible. We do not accept insurance typically because we am very concerned for your privacy and the confidentiality of therapy. Just so you know, insurance companies require therapists to meet a critera known as "medical necessity" when requesting payment from insurance companies. This term means that you need therapy because medically it is necessary for you. In other words, you must have a psychiatric illness that requires medications, even if you don't take them. Otherwise we don't get paid. That follows you for the rest of your life. It can be used against you to deny medical coverage, in court it can be brought up as a concern for your stability.... And the truth is most people are seeking therapy because they have a life issue. To protect YOU we strongly advise against using insurance. Instead we offer a negotiable fee, payment by cash, check, money order, debit card, credit cards. We also offer payment plans. We do provide a superbill if you want to submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. I am on Aetna and Blue Shield's PPO panels but I will discourage you from using them. WE DO TAKE VICTIMS COMPENSATION.
