Style
My therapy patients would generally describe me as warm, active and specific in helping them develop relief and satisfaction by getting clear about their emotions and needs.
Approaches to Psychotherapy
I work from primarily Gestalt, Attachment-Oriented and Gottman Method perspectives (click links below for further information). That said, I tailor therapy to the needs of the specific client I am treating. For that reason, I have sought and continue to seek extensive post-doctoral training in multiple approaches:
- Gestalt Therapy (Adults and Couples). 15+ years of ongoing postdoctoral training (Certified). Trainer at Gestalt Associates Training Los Angeles.
- ​Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Trained in Levels 1-3/Practicum).
- Attachment-Based Family Therapy (Diamond, et. al., 2014).
- Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression (Mufson, et. al., 2004).
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Certified).
Payment
I provide services on a private-pay basis (rates typical of region). While I do not work directly with insurance, with the exception of Medicare B, many do seek out-of-network reimbursement if their insurance provides for that.
