Confidentiality: In keeping with accepted professional practices, psychotherapy is confidential. Your right to privacy is respected according to professional ethical standards.

Diversity: I have lived and worked outside the United States and am sensitive to diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I work with people of all sexual orientations.

Fees:

Fees for individual, couple or hypnotherapy sessions are:

• 50 minutes $130

Working with a therapist is very personal and it also requires a  commitment of time and money.  It is important to find a therapist that is a good match for you.  If you are ambivalent about therapy or want to try different therapists before making the commitment, I offer a free 20-minute session where you may meet with me for this purpose. 

Insurance:
I am an in-network provider for Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Impact, VMC Behavioral Health, Interplan, Lifesynch and ChoiceCare.  If you have a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) with another insurance company you may be able to receive payments for an out-of-network provider. If you choose to use your PPO plan I can take care of the claim submission for you.
