Background

 Since 1995 my goal in private practice has been to serve the complete needs of patients in a quiet and confidential private practice setting, achieving the fullest possible remission of the symptoms most detrimental to quality of life—as soon as possible, but with the long term in mind. By applying psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy at the same time, I work with you comprehensively as a whole person, without the “medication management only” restriction imposed by many insurance companies—who are obligated by parity laws to reimburse mental health benefits equivalent to all other medical specialty benefits when you submit your claim. 

Nowadays people use many search terms to seek help for their mental and psychiatric health challenges. Here are many of those which I address:
