Billing, Insurance, and Confidentiality Disclosure

Hello,

I am a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience offering psychotherapy to individuals, couples - gay and straight, and group therapy. I am also a certified trained sex therapist.

Treatment Approach:

I use various treatment modalities when counseling clients because I don't believe that only one approach is right for everyone. I feel that therapy is a collaborative effort where I assist the individuals to choose the path that's right for them. In general, however, I would say that most people respond favorably to cognitive-behavioral therapy. This involves identifying beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that play a large part in current problems. Together we develop more functional, flexible, and adaptive solutions. Some individuals may need to explore early experiences with family, friends, or past relationships that were influential and currently affecting their functioning and happiness.

My style is respectful, warm, and supportive, and yet direct. I encourage serious discussion but feel there is a place for humor and creative exploration of ideas. If medication is appropriate, I will assist in making arrangements. Together we can solve problems and create an approach to life that will serve you well into the future.

Areas of Expertise:

Depression and anxiety;
Addiction recovery (alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, shopping, etc.);

Early in my career I did protective services, helping families where there was physical and/or sexual abuse or neglect. I then went on to become a psychiatric social worker in a medical facility where I worked with hospitalized psychiatric patients and their families, as well as with medical patients who had emotional problems related to their illnesses or home situations. In my 30 years of private practice I have helped hundreds of clients resolve their problems and live happy, more productive lives.

Insurance:

Clients can be reimbursed for my services as an out-of-network provider if you have a PPO insurance plan. If you have any questions about insurance coverage, please contact me directly.
