My Approach to Helping

I specialize in working with people who need help with their relationships. If you need help with anger, rage, or just want to get along better with others, come see me. I specialize in working with anger, rage, and all types of communication issues. I also offer individual therapy for Substance Abuse or other compulsions in a private setting for those who do not wish to participate in group therapy.

More Info About My Practice

I accept insurance, but I am not a member of the networks. I am happy to submit your insurance claim for you made out in such a way that any reimbursement goes to you, not me. (Unfortunately, I can't guarantee you will get any $$ back!)

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

In addition to helping couples communicate better, I help people who do not wish to participate in either 12-step programs or groups overcome compulsions, such as substance abuse, alcohol abuse, bulimia, sex addiction, and gambling.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Instead of "managing" anger, I help people overcome and understand it.
