t-term problem solving, check-in, tune-ups, and touch-ins. We can look together at all manner of concerns, including exploring relationships, purpose, work or personal goals, transpersonal, or spiritual issues. Together, we make a plan for addressing your needs, and it might look like one session from time to time, or a series of sessions for a short while. I do care deeply that each person discovers their unique path to deeper understanding, a better life. People come with varied concerns, but most often, they come with curiosity, to learn more about what makes them "tick," about how to care for themselves, how to be more effective in their professional lives or personal relationships and how to play. For some, there is a hunger to become more aware, and to create new possibility. Many seek the time to be with themselves, entering into a process of discovery that is not governed by complaint, but by the desire to bring greater contentment to their lives. For psychotherapy, I accept all the major insurance plans, including Preferred Care/MVP, Excellus (the Blues, Lifetime Health), Cigna, Aetna and Medicare. If you have a different carrier, feel free to ask me as I might be covered by them under a different umbrella. I am also on several EAP (Employee Assistance Plans) and you can ask your HR or EAP reps if I am on the panel for your company. For those outside of the insurance system please inquire about flat-rate fees.
