“I have been a psychotherapist for 25 years. I see adults and adolescents. I do not see children, 11 and under. Psychotherapy works best when the process seeks change. The focus of change needs to be delineated through a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. As a Ph.D. I understand the importance of applying evidence based methods and staying updated in relation to the current state of knowledge. This underlies your effectiveness as a therapist. Fees are reasonable and customary. I am on most major insurance panels. My office is in a safe location. I am the sole occupant.

I use a variety of methods depending on the agreed upon goals. All methods are clearly stated and pursued in tandem with the client(s). I have special expertise in addiction and also work with anxiety, depression and trauma. Individual, couple, family and group modalities are employed as indicated.

I am a licensed social worker with a masters and doctorate degree from Tulane University. I am in full time private practice. I am also and adjunct professor at Tulane University. My private practice is in Metairie, LA.”
