My Approach to Helping

Are you tired of experiencing anxiety that interferes with your everyday life? Do you want to feel like a normal person again? I help you get the upper hand on those situations that leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and out of control. You will learn to chunk your feelings into small, manageable sized pieces that you can successfully handle almost immediately. You will learn and practice calming strategies to use in everyday life. For over 15 years I have been helping people learn to manage their anxiety by teaching self hypnosis and self calming strategies. From childbirth to fear of flying to dental phobia, I have helped nearly 1000 people regain control of their lives. The average length of treatment for my clients is 7 sessions. I offer flexible scheduling including 50 minute sessions, half-sessions, phone sessions for established clients, and brief touch point phone consultations for those in between session needs. "

More Info About My Practice

In addition to counseling sessions in my office I offer phone sessions and secure internet chat and email therapy. See my website for more information.

For those who suffer extreme anxiety and fear leaving home I suggest a short course of home based therapy and phone sessions initially.

I choose to work as a fee for service provider meaning that you pay me in full eat each session by either check, cash or charge. I have chosen to go this route because for me to receive reimbursement from insurance companies I must give a person a psychiatric diagnosis. Once this diagnosis leaves my office and falls into the hands of an insurance company I have no control over how that diagnosis is used or how it is shared. This diagnosis will follow you forever and may have implications for future insurance needs. Many of my clients over the years have come for counseling to simply grow and change and do not warrant a psychiatric diagnosis. I am uncomfortable labeling if there is no need. If you choose to obtain reimbursement I will provide you with a statement and all the necessary billing information for you to submit to see me as an out of network provider. I encourage you to call and speak with me about your needs. If you still feel like you would like to use your insurance benefits I am happy to refer you to someone on your provider list that I know and trust.

I have an online scheduler that allows you to conveniently and quickly schedule your appointment from my website.
