“Instead of doing the thing you LIKE to do, choose to do the thing you need to work on. The thing that scares you.”-Robin Arzon, Peloton Instructor

“Make modifications not excuses.”-Alex Toussaint, Peloton Instructor

“Your mind is your strongest muscle.” -Tunde Oyeneyin, Peloton Instructor

My professional passion includes building real, authentic and unique relationships with those whom I serve, treating each person as competent informers of their own story, of which I am honored and curious to hear. This is in line with my personal/professional philosophy in that we all desire to be “really seen,” “heard” and accepted for who we are, and when this occurs within the context of a therapeutic relationship, one tends to heal themselves and is better able to apply learned skills.

I am perinatal mental health certified (PMH-C，孕产妇心理健康专业认证) and I specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders; transitional and adjustment issues arising during the prenatal/postpartum period, or while considering/pursuing fertility treatments, such as IVF, or adoption; traumatic birth experience; infertility; perinatal grief and loss; and termination for medical reasons.

Areas of interest and expertise include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (helps people to consistently choose to pursue their values in the presence of difficult or disruptive “private” internal events, such as unpleasant thoughts/feelings), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (believes that behaviors and emotional responses to external events and situations are not directly caused by these events or situations per se, but by the perceptions and interpretations of these events and situations), and Psychodynamic Therapy (helps people gain insight into their lives and present-day problems; identifying and recognizing recurring patterns can help people see how they avoid distress or develop defense mechanisms to cope, with this insight allowing them to begin changing those patterns).

While I have a great deal of experience treating those with anxiety, depression, mood issues, problematic substance use, and trauma, at the end of the day, feeling better with the assistance of a therapist comes down goodness of fit. We may be a good a fit if you’re ready to dive in to what’s most concerning right now, like to be supported and sharpened, are comfortable with being “pushed” sometimes, and favor transparency and respect for choice.

心理咨询服务收不收保险？

如果您或您家人的公司有Lyra Health员工福利，请联系Lyra Health，确认您在他们的网络内。只要确认了，就可以直接和我们前台预约。

我们是out of network provider，对于大部分商业保险，我们不在保险网络内。您在我们这边会需要自己支付全部的服务费用，然后我们会提供服务的收据。您可以拿着收据去联系自己的保险公司，看是否可以报销一部分。对于我们这样在保险网络外部的咨询师，大部分保险公司都会报销50-80%左右的费用。您也可以提前询问自己的保险公司，了解一下这样的服务是否可以报销。
