Psychotherapy. In-person. In Wallingford
I help individuals and families who are motivated to change patterns and behaviors but who are frustrated, unsure where to turn and stuck.
I worked a pre doctoral Psychology internship in the Outpatient Counseling Center at Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services, a large community mental health care agency located in Los Angeles California. Here I provided treatment team oriented outpatient level to a chronically undersupported caseload of individual child, adolescent and young adult patients as well as their family members/caregivers in a community mental health agency setting.
Prior to this, I was a clinical trainee for two years (first at the practicum level and then at the “pre-internship” level at Fairfax Behavioral Health Hospital in Kirkland, Washington. At Fairfax I worked primarily with adults and adolescents at Fairfax’s partial hospitalization programs. During my second year I attended a weekly psychological testing seminar led by the clinical director of the hospital. In addition I began facilitating 2-3 therapy groups per week on the adolescence inpatient unit.
Insurance:
I am an in-network provider with Premera, Regence Blue Shield, TRICARE, TriWest and Aetna insurances and alld forms of insurance that offer out-of-network benefits. I would be glad to answer any insurance or billing related questions.
I currently offer individual depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (13 years old and up) using psychodynamic and relational approaches in a private practice setting.
Begining (or returning) to psychotherapy?
Together we will start by looking at any urgent or immediate reasons you are seeking psychotherapy. It is important that the first few sessions allow you to get a sense of me, an understanding of what I can, and cannot offer and what it feels like when we are together in therapy. I am interested in learning about your social and emotional development, significant past and current relationships, cultural experiences and anything you wish to share to help me form an understanding of who you are and what you wish to change.
