Now a retired Professor Emeritus, I taught graduate students the art & science of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy for 47years. I have worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, and other complex feelings related to difficult life transitions as well as specific issues such as extramarital affairs, divorce, parental alienation, domestic violence, loss and grief, underachieving adolescents and young adults, etc. My overall goal of therapy is to help each client get more of what they want & less of what they don’t want in their family or intimate or work-oriented relationships.
I am a flexible therapist, adapting the treatment approach to clients' comfort levels. Although I see individuals, I more often work with a couple and/or additional family members. I find longer but less frequent sessions (e.g. 2 or 3 hours every other week or even monthly) to be more helpful in the resolution of differences & the reduction of anxiety.
I am available to work online or in person. My schedule is quite flexible for appointments. (i.e. I am often available in the evening and on weekends. I am also available for "home visits" and "walk-and-talk" sessions with individuals along a river or lake. For more details about my practice, please request a copy of my "Professional Disclosure Statement".

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or anxiety related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Many clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month or two and sustained improvement thereafter.
