Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Control Mastery Theory Helps clients uncover unconscious beliefs formed in childhood that may still be blocking them. It supports testing and changing these beliefs in a safe relationship.
Approach Description: As a research & clinical psychologist, I will work with you from an integrative perspective, in accord with what you find most helpful. My job is to help you develop and grow, overcoming current problems & making progress in many areas of your life
Fees & Insurance
Fees
- Average Session Fee $200 to $260
- Affordable sliding scale therapy: apply if you may be eligible.
- I discuss my sliding scale with new clients. I expect clients to consider what they are comfortable paying on a weekly and monthly basis. I always see at least 3 pro-bono or low-fee cases. When I have room, I accept low-fee clients. When my low-fee slots are filled, I require my usual fee.
- Out of Network
- I require clients to pay me directly through SimplePractice, and to then send invoices to their insurance providers.

Therapy Sessions
- Available Online for residents of California
- Online Therapy Details: I offer online consultation along with brief and longer-term psychotherapy via Zoom.
I will see you for 50 minutes each session, during which time we talk. From my perspective, good therapy is often like a really good conversation out of which you will leave feeling better, stronger, and more able to cope with life situations. I support other kinds of help you might want to use, including psychopharmacological treatments, self-help group therapies, specific behavioral therapies, contemplative practices such as meditation and involvement in spiritual programs.
