Description For the past 26 years I have been a practicing psychotherapist. My specialty areas are as follows:
Specific phobias
Social phobia
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder
Post traumatic stress disorder
Acute stress disorder
Treatment Modalities: I am psychodynamically oriented. I will include cognitive behavioral therapy when necessary. My treatment objective is to help guide my client to gain an understanding of his disorder. What are the trigger's which sets off the anxiety and fear. And, ultimately to help the client to consciously gain control and mastery over these triggers. Commonly, the root of anxiety disorder stems from early childhood trauma. This trauma becomes stored into one's unconscious memory. Often, when the client is stimulated with a trauma, of a similar nature, via a dream or outside of himself, this may set off anxiety and fear. And, the client has difficulty defending himself or warding off the anxiety when it occurs.
Insurance Accepted: I am a provider of Managed Health Network. When possible, I will treat clients as an out-of-network provider.
Fee Schedule:: My regular fee is $175.00. I will treat clients at a reduced rate depending on their financial situation.
