My Psychotherapy Practice

Psy­chother­apy is for a vari­ety of men­tal health and per­sonal prob­lems. Psy­chother­apy goals are insight, res­o­lu­tion of symp­toms and prob­lems, achieve­ment of inner peace, as well as health­ful life goals. (If insur­ance is used for reim­burse­ment, a men­tal health diag­no­sis is required.)

In my ther­apy prac­tice, I empha­size insight and may rec­om­mend cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused tech­niques. I might also rec­om­mend coach­ing, med­i­ta­tion, relax­ation, acupunc­ture and other adjunct tech­niques. I refer to physi­cians, 12 step pro­grams, and other pro­fes­sion­als — and col­lab­o­rate upon request and with writ­ten per­mis­sion and authorization.

Pri­vacy and con­fi­den­tial­ity are major con­cerns. No infor­ma­tion is shared by tele­phone or in writ­ing or any way with­out writ­ten autho­riza­tion. A par­tic­u­lar con­sid­er­a­tion is the pro­tec­tion of all records from harm­ful employ­ment or insur­ance practices.

I con­sult with indi­vid­ual adults, cou­ples and groups about:

  • Anx­i­ety, Fears and Phobias

  • Rela­tion­ships — Love and Fam­ily Issues

  • Work and BusinessLoss and Grief

  • Main­tain­ing Health, Well­ness and Balance

  • Emo­tional Abuse and Domes­tic Violence

  • Sex­u­al­ity Issues and Sex­ual Dysfunction

  • Depres­sionPar­ent­ing
