About Us

mental health

To me, psychotherapy isn't about being sick; it's about being better.  

It's about

getting out of your own way.  It's about not taking responsibility for things you can't control, and about owning your own thoughts and feelings.  It's about being able to tell the difference between logical thoughts, and irrational feelings.  Therapy offers no guarantees, but offers an opportunity to understand and be understood .

About Us

Thorough works better

My style of practice is to do an initial evaluation over three or four visits, and then make recommendations.  I am able to provide a range of treatments, including individual and family therapy, behavior modification, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychiatric medications.  For most problems, psychiatric medication is not used, but may be offered if non-medication therapies are not effective.

financial

I am not a provider on any insurance panel, but I am happy to submit the claim to a PPO insurance plan as a courtesy to my patients.  You may want to check with your insurance company as to how much it will pay for an out-of-network child psychiatrist
