ABOUT
A NOTE ABOUT TELE-THERAPY
What is tele-therapy? Tele-therapy is basically video conferencing like FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. However, I use a proprietary system called Simple Practice that is specifically designed for therapists. This system is HIPAA complaint, secure and very easy for you to use. It does not require you to have an account and it works on phones, tablets and desktop/laptop computers.
ABOUT ME
I've been practicing therapy for a little over seven years and practicing at being a human for many many more. I'm originally from New Jersey, but moved to San Francisco in the 90s and Los Angeles in the 2000's. My wife and I moved to Chico CA after a short spell in Utah and are now very happy to call this town home.
Previous to becoming a therapist I spent roughly 20 years as a professional musician and toured all over the world playing drums in a number of bands. I've often joked that I have many years of experience working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and narcissism....and then I left the music business. I believe that my unique life experience has helped me to become a better therapist and genuinely appreciate the lives and struggles of my patients.
EXPERIENCE
I have been in private practice since November of 2018. Previous to opening my own practice I had worked at Nysa Therapy in Chico, CA, Butte County Behavioral Health in Oroville, CA and Weber Human Services in Ogden, UT.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE NOTICE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
