What is your mission?

My approach is collaborative, compassion-focused, and direct. I want to understand what is important to you and what you want out of therapy, and will structure my approach around those things. Therapy to me is a marathon and not a sprint – it takes time and trust to create long-lasting change. So, at first we will just be getting to know one another and building a relationship that you feel safe and understood in. Beyond that, I take an integrative approach, blending a few of my favorite modalities, such as parts work, attachment-based work, and some skills-based approaches.

What is your approach? 

Yes! Well, yes and no. For individual therapy, yes, and I accept United, Aetna, Cigna, and Anthem BCBS plans. Couples therapy is not a covered service through most insurances, so couples therapy sessions are private pay.

Do you accept insurance?

Questions

Do you offer short-term or long-term therapy?

The answer to this varies on the person or the relationship, but I've noticed that clients who feel therapy is working are sharing moments where they feel proud of themselves, are more compassionate to themselves, and are engaging more in the things that bring them joy. Couples who find therapy working share that they are more confident in their ability to navigate conflict with one another, are noticing each other’s strengths instead of their shortcomings, and are feeling more grateful for their relationship.

How will I know if it's working?

The name Glowing Embers reflects the belief that meaningful growth emerges through genuine interest and wonder, and it's inspired by the wonder I feel when sitting around a campfire. When you watch embers glow and shift around a campfire, you’re seeing both warmth and resilience — something steady and alive beneath the surface. I believe your inner world and your relationship hold that same depth and strength.

Questions

This also depends on the person/couple and their needs. Generally, I recommend meeting on a weekly basis at the start. Once you begin to see some traction and are feeling relief around the things you initially came in for, we often drop down in frequency to every other week. Once you’re in the “maintenance phase” of therapy, meaning you have made progress on your goals and are now focused on sustaining that progress, I offer sessions on a monthly or every 6 week basis.
