My Approach to Helping

More Info About My Practice

I believe that offering a variety of therapeutic approaches increases patient wellness. I offer interactive metronome, animal-assisted therapy, and neurofeedback. These effective approaches are fun, and can be highly effective for those who find traditional therapy challenging or who struggle to verbalize their feelings.

I also offer convenient video conferencing therapy. You don't need to be a computer expert to try this approach. Video conferencing makes therapy more accessible, allowing clients to attend sessions while away from home, as well as offering therapy to those who have busy schedules or who are homebound.

I accept many insurances and offer a sliding scale fee schedule.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

Going to therapy is no different than going to a doctor for a physical problem. As a society, we tend to look at emotional well being as a skill or as a matter of will power without considering the physiological affects of stress. Stress can create profound physical changes including changes in body chemistry which can lead to physiological depression or anxiety. For many people going to therapy can improve quality of life, physical health and remove obstacles to personal growth. In therapy, I like to remind people that emotional well being has a behavioral and physical component and I am here acting as an investigator and a coach. Therapy is a team effort and anyone can use direction once in a while.
