Therapy for Women Who Are Done with Surface-Level Insight

You are not here because your life fell apart. You are here because you are paying attention. You have probably done some version of this work before: read the books, maybe seen a therapist, developed a fairly sophisticated understanding of yourself. And yet the same patterns keep showing up. In relationships. In how you respond to pressure. In the gap between who you know you want to be and how you actually move through the world.

You are looking for a therapist who can work at the level you operate. That is what I do.

What the Work Looks Like

My approach to individual therapy is depth-oriented, feminist, and relational. We are not here to manage symptoms or develop coping strategies for a life that is not working. We are here to understand — at a real level — what is shaping how you live, relate, and experience yourself. And then to change it.

We look at patterns. Family of origin. The models of relationships you absorbed before you had language for them. The ways you learned to be competent, capable, and contained — and what that cost you. We work at the intersection of insight and change.

I work from a feminist lens: the inner life you bring to therapy formed in a world with specific expectations for women and specific costs for not meeting them. I name those things. I hold both the personal and the structural.

The tools I draw on include depth-oriented talk therapy, relational and somatic approaches, and EMDR. For many of my clients, EMDR is where understanding finally becomes change. You may know exactly where a pattern came from and still find yourself living inside it; EMDR works with how those formative experiences are held in the nervous system, so the past can stop running the present. I offer EMDR both in person in Arlington, where the full range of bilateral stimulation is available, and via telehealth.

Who I Work With

I work with high-achieving women who are reflective, motivated, and ready to do something more than talk about their problems. My clients are often in their 30s and 40s, navigating questions of identity, relationship patterns, and the kind of self-understanding that can only come from sustained, honest work. They are not fragile. They are capable of handling direct feedback and complex insight. They want a therapist who brings something to the room.

What to Expect

Sessions are 50* minutes, held in person at my office at 226 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington or via HIPAA-compliant telehealth anywhere in Massachusetts and Washington. This is a private pay practice; I do not file directly with insurance, and I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

$275 per session.

*90 minute sessions are available upon request.
