Our Resources

I provide treatment for individuals, couples and adolescents.

I am an authorized mental health provider for AETNA, CIGNA, Managed Health Network (MHN), Medicare, and TriCare (Triwest) insurance companies. In addition, your sessions may be covered by many other PPO insurance plans. Please provide any insurance information at your first visit. I will be happy to assist you in facilitating your benefits.

Before your visit, please verify your insurance coverage with your insurance company.

I require payment at the beginning of each session and accept cash, check, or credit card. I offer a sliding income-based fee under certain circumstances, but will require certain financial information prior to setting a lower fee. I also accept several different insurance plans.

My fee is $150 per 50-minute therapy hour for individuals and $185 for couples or adolescents.

Yes, I provide a free 20-minute initial consultation either in person or over the phone.

Unfortunately, I do not represent clients within litigation or custody cases as I am not a forensic psychologist. Please let me know as soon as possible in the event you need representation by a psychologist approved by the court system.

Services provided to clients and patients are generally treated as private. This means the therapist take reasonable steps based on Nevada laws to insure they do not reveal your identity, discuss information, or reveal the content of their communications with others. Privacy is not a statutory protection, but rather a professional relationship. Information is not confidential if you are not in a treatment relationship.

Please see my policies for more information regarding Patient Confidentiality and Client Privilege issues.

Treatment is initiated through two 50-minute preliminary assessment appointments, where information concerning current stressors, psychological history and presenting symptoms is gathered to formulate a starting point for treatment. If necessary, I may ask for prior therapist or physician information (with your permission). Both therapist and client work together in defining specific therapeutic goals. Psychotherapy can be short-term (6-10 sessions) or longer, depending on the presenting problem. Psychotherapy is focused on changing self-defeating thinking and behavior patterns while enhancing your personal strengths. During therapy, you will be provided the necessary guidance, education and support to achieve successful treatment.
