Practice

        I utilize a child-centered and family focused approach to treat the spectrum of emotional and social conditions that challenge families.  I provide play therapy for young children (in the context of ongoing family meetings or family therapy), psychotherapy for children & adolescents, psychotherapy for adults & couples, and medications for my patients.  I work collaboratively with the child and family (and the school for school aged children).  Seeking to facilitate the optimal well-being of my patients, I follow a holistic model that seeks to integrate the physical and spiritual needs, in addition to the emotional and social needs, of my patients.

        It can be difficult for a family to call a psychiatrist for help.  I will make the evaluation and treatment process as comfortable as possible.  We will work together as we thoughtfully explore the presenting problem before selecting the most appropriate, state of the art treatment plan available from contemporary psychiatry.  Please contact me to explore my services and fees.

            All fees are due at the beginning of the initial evaluation or each session by check.  I do not participate with HMO panels or bill insurance.  PPO health plans may cover some of the charges as an “out of network provider.”  Please check with your insurance provider whether you will be reimbursed for my services.  I will provide you with a receipt for charges that you may file with your insurance.
