About My Clients
As a general psychotherapy of over two decades I work well with hard-to-treat patients, particularly those who have failed with previous talk therapy and or medication-assisted psychotherapies. My approach does not simply use talk therapy. I coach, test your brain and apply other investigational methods to understand and address the core basis of what is at the root of the anxiety attack, just waiting to take over, then I deploy a wide range of treatment approaches to address your needs

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
while I still accept some limited managed care appointments, my Practice has switched to a monthly subscription model. Patients can still request to use their insurance. Having treated patients in inpatient, residential, hospital, and out-patient settings on an Individual basis; or as a part of a therapeutic treatment team, my private practice treatment approach is eclectic, and integrative. For clients this means that I incorporate the best from nutrition, lifestyle counseling, herbology and applied neuropsychology in my work with patients. I believe that we are unique individuals and that we should approach our work with the highest regard for human beings and with an orientation towards the alleviation of human suffering. Social justice causes are one of my personal and professional life focus, and this manifests in all of my work. I am driven by a core belief that we are here to help each other and that we should strive to leave the planet better than we found it.
