More Info About My Practice

My office is quiet and private. It is conveniently located in Smithtown with ample parking. For most people weekly sessions make the most sense. Office hours are Monday through Friday and all sessions are exclusively reserved for you in advance. I make every attempt to return calls by the next day.

I participate in some insurance plans and also provide out of network services. For private clients who choose not to utilize insurance, I will provide receipt of service if needed.

For your convenience, phone sessions are also available.
