Philosophy:
I return phone calls personally. Generally I am able to offer an appointment within the week. Our first session will be a working session. I will ask you about the problems that are bringing you to therapy at this time. I will do my best to listen empathically and together we will begin to formulate your goals for the work. I will recommend the best course of treatment for your particular situation.

Practice:
If you feel anxious or depressed, feel you don’t understand yourself, or that you encounter the same problems over and over, I am able to help you.
I work with women, men and couples who are having trouble with their relationships due to stress, miscommunications, lack of emotional understanding or intimacy.
Often we use coping skills based on past experiences, which are not always the most effective for the current situation. Understand this can generate new ways to think about where we are now, how we got here and where we want to go.
Over my 16 years of practice I have focused on understanding the relationships we build and choose. Painful feelings and loneliness can be part of all relationships and over time these feelings can become strained and depleted. If you are looking for someone to work with you on a deep level, where the emotions are often confusing, I am able to tolerate these confusing feelings and sort them out with you. If you have had negative experiences in therapy before, and have not progressed to the point you wanted, I am a good choice.
As a senior clinician I am able to focus in on the points of conflict relatively quickly and help you find relief. Long-standing changes can take longer and are often more the result of sustained work. The model of therapy I use lends itself to deep change. The degree of change you want is up to you.

Additional information:
I accept some insurances but many of my clients prefer to see me out of network because the therapy is then based on their personal goals and the work they want to accomplish.
If you see me out of the insurance there is more confidentiality and the treatment not managed by the insurance company. Often clients receive reimbursement for their sessions directly. I complete and submit the necessary claims on a monthly basis.
I am committed to helping you reach your goals. Together we can decide how long you need and the best way for you to get there. We can arrange a fee per session that suits both of us. I am committed to providing you with the highest quality care I can with a fee that is manageable for you.
