My Approach to Helping
Hello and thank you for your interest in my psychotherapy practice. For many years now, I have found psychotherapy to be a powerful tool for positive change to occur in a person's life. It is my goal to offer a safe and supportive setting for this work. While my approach is eclectic to meet the particular needs of each client, I believe that the relationship we create provides the foundation for healing. I work with adults and adolescents, individuals and couples. I often see people who are suffering from depression and anxiety, dealing with addictions (to alcohol, drugs, pornography, food, and sex) and relationship issues. I often work with people from the LGBT community.

 

More Info About My Practice
In an effort to provide affordable psychotherapy services, I belong to a number of insurance panels (what is referred to as an "in-network provider"). Managed health care is, of course, constantly changing these days. Because many people through their employers or individual plans have insurance, I have made it a point to be available to them should they wish to use their benefit. I am an in-network provider for Aetna, Blue Shield of CA, United Behavioral Health (includes Pacificare, United Healthcare), Magellan, and MHN. For plans not listed, a member may be able to use their out-of-network benefit for reimbursement. I encourage people to contact their insurance providers for more information.
