Do you just see clients who are struggling with sex addiction?

No! I have experience working with client who struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, and drug/alcohol addiction.

Do you work with individuals? Couples? Families? Groups?

All of the above!

Check this website from time to time to see about group therapy periodically offered addressing a range of specific topics.

What age ranges are your clients?

I work with adults and young adults (teens).

What is psychotherapy? How is it different from psychiatry?

Psychotherapy is “talk therapy.” You meet with a therapist and explore issues of concern and learn new skills to cope.

Psychiatry is practiced by a licensed physician and typically involves an evaluation to determine whether medication is warranted in addressing the issue at hand. Psychiatrists rarely engage in counseling these days.

Referrals for a psychiatric evaluation (medication) are made when necessary.

What can I expect in the first session?

Our first session together will last for 90 minutes. This gives us time to get to know one another, begin to develop an understanding of what’s going on, and look towards formulating a plan of action that will help you to reach your goals. We will also go over forms that I have sent you in advance and examine your previous history.

What about follow up sessions?

The second and subsequent sessions will last for 50 minutes. Beginning with the second session, we will create a treatment plan that will guide our time together going forward.

Will my spouse/partner need to come?

I typically ask your spouse come to one session around session four or five to see where they are at emotionally and give them access to resources that they may need.

How much does each session cost?

First session (90 minutes) – $250
Follow up sessions (50 minutes) – $200

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations without a 24-hour notice will result in the client being charged in full for the missed session.

When are your office hours?

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays 8:00am – 6:00pm
Wednesdays 8:00am – 8:00pm

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance.

Upon request, I can provide you a statement containing all necessary information for you to seek reimbursement from your insurance for service by an out-of-network provider.

I cannot guarantee if or how much your insurance provider will reimburse.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

Are you a Christian? Do you work with people who are not Christians?

Yes, I am a professing Christian. And yes, I work with people of every faith tradition and those with no faith tradition at all. I believe that God has sent me on a mission to help everyone who would benefit from my skill set and experience regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey.
