| Practice Description: |
Why do we choose partners who fail to meet some of the important needs in our life, even though there was something about them that caused us to deeply love them initially? Why can't our partner understand what is going on in our world? Why doesn't our partner love us better? We imagine meeting the perfect partner and staying in love with them forever. They would understand us so well and offer the right words and support that we need. Why can't we find that perfect partner? Why is the partner we have so annoying at times?
These questions confound us whether we are single, in relationship, married, or divorced and considering trying again. To address these questions we have to look at our own process of growth and, if in relationship, that of our partner.
Becoming aware of ourselves is central to allowing change to occur. I am a Certified Jungian Analyst, and I work with individuals and couples around these crucial issues of forming and maintaining relationships.

| Fee Schedule: |
My standard fee is $130.00 per 50-minute hour. I recognize that not everyone can afford my usual fee and I don't want the cost to interfere with a person or couple receiving needed treatment. If a person or couple are motivated to work through the psychotherapeutic process, I will be flexible in setting the fee, which may be a reduced amount. |
| Insurance and Billing Instructions: |
I can work with most out-of-network PPO plans, including Blue Cross. |
