Is psychodynamic therapy effective online?

Research has continuously borne up the efficacy of online, remote psychotherapy, including a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy.

How often are sessions?

Session frequency is decided at our first meeting, usually once to three times weekly. Meeting more often allows the work to deepen more quickly, leading to earlier and more robust benefits.

Do you take insurance or provide superbills?

Private pay only. On request, regular superbills are provided that can be submitted to insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. The initial consultation is $165; the ongoing fee is set together after committing to treatment, typically $135–185 per session.

How I Work

The Framework

In many ways it's simple — we follow whatever is present: what you're feeling, thinking, dreaming, or what keeps showing up in your life.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. We pay close attention to patterns — in your life, your relationships, and in the present-moment texture of our dialogue. I work with curiosity and patience, taking the stance of co-explorer rather than expert-on-you.

I don't hurry or hand out fixes. We let understanding grow until change happens naturally. The aim is more contact with your own life, as it really is, so it can be lived more fully and so choices can be made more consciously.

What Brings People Here

People come for many different reasons: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, identity questions, a vague but persistent sense that something isn't working. Some have tried other approaches and want something deeper. Some are in a life transition and want a steady place to think. There's no single presenting problem — what tends to matter more is a willingness to look honestly.

Fees & Practicalities

Session frequency is decided at our first meeting and is usually one to three times weekly.

The initial session is 55 minutes and $165. Ongoing sessions are 45 minutes, with fees between $135–185, determined at the end of our first meeting. I work by private pay only, and will provide superbills on request.

Sessions are conducted via Zoom or phone. A free 15-minute introductory phone call is available before scheduling.
