Basic Information

In-person

Services

New clients can often be seen within 1-2 weeks, especially if you are flexible about appointment times. Paperwork is simple, kept to a minimum, and can be completed online if you like. I try to immediately focus on your needs and concerns. The 1st session is an assessment to determine if I can help you further by providing outpatient therapy, court testimony or forensic services. Your impression and opinion of me is the most important factor in determining the next step. If you think we are a good match and I think I can be of help; we can develop the appropriate treatment plan and begin services.
