Empowering individuals to enrich their lives
Getting Started
Please email me briefly describing the difficulty you are experiencing, your availability for appointments (be as flexible as possible), and payment information (out of pocket, insurance, etc.). Upon receipt, I will email you with availability for appointments or assist you with a referral.
Upon being offered an appointment, you will be asked to complete a Patient Information/HIPAA Form. Once reviewed by my office, you will be emailed a password and instructions to complete a secure, confidential online assessment, which provides historical information and allows our first session to focus more on your current concerns. Typically, you will be given an appointment once every two weeks unless you request otherwise or your distress level warrants more frequent sessions.
Individual Psychotherapy
Offered to individuals 15 years or older and involves 50-minute psychotherapy using the Multidimensional Change Model to address numerous difficulties including:
- Stress and anxiety disorders
- Depression and losses
- Co-existing psychological and addiction problems
- Recovery from abusive/traumatic experiences
- Relationship difficulties or marital problems
- Personal insecurities or self-confidence issues
Couples Counseling
Involves identifying problems and the deterioration of a relationship followed by applying interventions to reduce conflict, enhance communication, improve understanding and negotiations of each other’s emotional needs, increasing cooperation with each other’s life plans, and maximizing the couple’s sexual life.
Dual Diagnosis Group Therapy
Periodically offered to adults and involves small, confidential group treatment for individuals experiencing both psychological disorders (i.e., depression, anxiety, etc.) along with alcohol/drug use. Treatment increases understanding of how life has been affected by psychological and substance abuse problems and incorporates well-researched interventions, such as motivational interviewing, stages of change, etc., to discontinue substance abuse and maximize quality of life. This treatment approach can be an alternative or in conjunction with AA or other self-help orientations.

- Emotionally Rewarding Parenting
