"I am well trained and seasoned by lots of life experience - you can talk to me about anything. A commitment to having a great life, combined with an openness to the support of others, makes anything possible. Being a therapist is my second profession; taken up after working in the investment banking business for more than twenty years. I have raised a family in New York City and have four grown children. Couples therapy, anger managment, addictions, and making major life changes are some of the areas in which I collaborate with my clients."

"In order for counseling to be meaningful and effective, it must help relieve presenting concerns and symptoms, as well as expose the unique thoughts, habits, perceptions and interpretations that interfere with the changes you wish to see in your life. Our work together will be to identify those complex and unique patterns in order to implement the best strategies towards attaining your short-term and long-term goals."

"I provide a safe place in which you can reveal, explore, understand and heal. It is often a painful crisis that starts the therapeutic venture; the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, a frightening illness, children leaving home. Along with mourning what's lost, there is an opportunity to regroup and redfine one's priorities. I help clients find resilience in the face of life's challenges."

"I view treatment as a collaborative effort between client and therapist. This working relationship is an essential ingredient in the healing process. Having an eclectic approach, I try to fit the treatment to the needs of the patient. I draw from interpersonal, psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral and family systems ideas in conceptual- izing and addressing the problems at hand. It is extremely rewarding for me to assist clients in recognizing and freeing up their potential."

"I work with motivated patients utilizing individual, couple and family therapy. I have had a great deal of success working with couples and getting to the heart of why couples are unhappy and what strategies they can work on to improve their relationships moving forward and making the relationship primary in their lives. It is greatly rewarding to help men achieve a higher level of emotional intelligence so that they are able to give women what they need to feel loved and appreciated."

"Have you been feeling dissatisfied or continuously frustrated with an important aspect of your life? Are you in an emotionally tense situation and have a hard time regaining your equilibrium? Have you been struggling with low self-esteem, addictive behavior or social anxiety? For things to change, you may need to first recognize the underlying issues that have led to your current difficulties. In therapy you'll have an opportunity to gain a new perspective on past and recent experiences that have hindered your progress and rediscover your authentic voice. Therapy is an investment in your future-self that you can make today."

"I believe that all of us do the best we can with what we've got. Yet, we long for change, life hands us curve balls, and we still feel stuck. When we're not sure how to handle things, need clarity, or we're lacking the motivation to go for it, having someone you can confide in is key. I will be that trusted advisor. I will work with you to realize your goals, achieve the changes you need and desire, and improve your relationships--with others and with yourself. Together we'll transform fears that have been in your way, illuminate important values to guide your decisions, and rewrite old scripts that no longer serve you. "

"I have a long-standing private practice in New York City. I work from a relational psychodynamic perspective with both individuals and couples. My focus is to help the people I work with identify patterns in their thinking/relationships/behavior that interfere with their own satisfaction and achievement. Via such identification of patterns and a greater understanding of their purpose and appeal, we find that these patterns begin to lose their power. New, creative alternatives for approaching life and its challenges are developed and strengthened."

"I collaborate creatively with individuals and couples to attain healthy relationships at work, with your partners, your friends, yourselves. Together we work to identify your hidden strengths. New communication strategies help you to listen more effectively to yourselves and to others. We co-create new behaviors to deepen understanding and to strengthen your unique sense of self. I am particularly interested, and informed in work-related issues: in helping you to realize your desires and work with your blocks to achieving them. Lawyers, people in finance, doctors frequently seek me out. You and your work and life partners benefit from mutual understanding and commitment."
