For the past 40 years I have treated individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues. While my specialty is in addictive disorders (including codependency and adult child issues) my practice also includes people with a variety of psychiatric and personal problems.  I use a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, transactional analysis and inner child work and would be more then happy to meet with you to see if I could be helpful.

If I do not accept your insurance, I would be happy to discuss what a reasonable payment would be for you.
