Therapists in Valley Cottage, NY

I begin the collaboration with each person seeking my professional counsel by asking, "What is it you're not getting in your life that causes you pain?" Together, we explore the resources that will allow them to heal, change and grow. During the 30 years I have practiced psychotherapy, from a systemic or holistic perspective, I have assisted individuals, parents, couples, adolescents and caregivers to see and experience their lives differently.

My therapeutic treatment is an individual personalized plan (IPP) that starts by assessing client’s expectations and goals and progresses into a tailor-made treatment. "Starting with The End in Mind", states Covey, S., clients bring to therapy their own narratives to which expect solutions. As we unfold, several plots emerge. With the ultimate client's goal in mind, our sessions take a ride in the client’s journey thru past, present and future. Whereas seizing the present is the key, looking ahead and glancing back at the past gives it a re-significance as the past does live in our present and is strong enough to shape our future.
