About

Hello,
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (NY, NJ) with more than 30 years of experience helping clients identify and resolve various problems in living. These have included stress and anxiety; sadness and depression; trauma; job, career, and life transition challenges; marital and family issues, including infertility, divorce, the stresses of parenting, college, and the like; relationship and commitment challenges; and other accompaniments of everyday life. My orientation tends toward cognitive-behaviorism, but since I am a believer that no one theory or practice model will fit every situation, I tend to be eclectic in my approach.

I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds across many different settings. I believe that if therapy is to be successful, it should focus less on advice-giving and more on identifying one's goals and devising a plan for meeting them, likely involving learning new skills and different approaches/perspectives, and most importantly, ection. The decision to begin therapy and embark on a journey which can be difficult is to be commended. I hope that I may become part of your journey.
