| Practice Description: |
I am a licensed counselor specializing in work with adolescents and adults in their 20’s.
Has your teenager pulled away or started acting up? If you're in your 20's, you may be dealing with questions and doubts as you make career and life choices. Highs and lows are not uncommon with your romantic relationships, differentiating yourself from family, deciding on and moving up in your career field of choice.
I'd like to help. Meeting with me for therapy can be really helpful when struggling with troubles including but not limited to: relationships, stress, career choices, depression, anxiety/overwhelm, and life transitions (e.g., divorce, break-ups, etc).
You don't have to go through this on your own. I encourage you to call me today for a free telephone consultation. I have weekday daytime and evening hours available by appointment. You can also click on the link to visit my website for more information (including video clips) about psychotherapy and about how I work.

| Insurance and Billing Instructions: |
I am a provider for AETNA, some BLUE SHIELD plans, some HEALTHNET plans, MAGELLAN, and MHN behavioral health insurance, as well as the Victims of Crime Assistance Program.
I am also a provider for the several Employee Assistance Plans (EAP). EAP benefits are accessible through one's company/corporation, and offer short-term counseling for the employee and/or members of their household.
If you have a health care plan not listed here and are interested in using your health care benefits, I recommend you contact their benefits department and ask about reimbursement for ‘out of network’ providers. I am happy to provide you with proof of service so you can recoup some of your costs by your submitting receipts to your insurance company.
You also have the option to private pay for sessions. |
| Office Hours: |
Monday - Friday, by appointment |
| Additional Comments: |
I find that people generally feel more at ease after our initial phone call, and certainly more so after the first session or two of meeting in person. I can help you see difficult issues in a new light, find solutions that may have escaped your notice, increase fulfillment in your interpersonal relationships, and provide a safe, judgment-free environment for all this work to take place. |
