About Us

My ideal clients are either teens or adults who are motivated to find solutions to their problems, although they may be in considerable emotional pain dealing with depression, anxiety, or relationship issues. They are interested in looking inside to find the sources of their problems, and they are willing to participate actively in the therapeutic process and to tackle the changes they may need to make to promote more joyous and successful lives. Given the privacy of the consulting room, they are willing to be as honest and open about their struggles as possible to maximize the benefit of therapy. , An emotionally safe setting allows clients to share their deepest concerns, their dreams and fantasies, their wishes and expectations. The relationship between us facilitates the unfolding of core issues underlying their struggles. I am engaged, accessible, will offer concrete advice when appropriate and will use adjunctive therapies as needed. , I am an active, congenial, flexible, and accepting professional working in an inviting, sunny home office. I am forthright and pragmatic. Having over 35 years experience in mental health, I am comfortable working with a wide range of people, and I have expertise in diagnosis and assessment.
