I work with children, adolescents, couples and families. I have extensive experience in trauma recovery, stepfamily issues, dissociative identity disorder and parent empowerment. I also work with local attorneys and the courts in high conflict custody cases, I facilitate coparenting after divorce and I perform family reunification. With special training in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy, I bring a range of talents and expertise to all that I do. I also enjoy my work as an adjunct professor of psychology at Norwalk Community College.
I'm a clinical fellow in the AAMFT. My wife, Karen, also a Family Therapist, often works with me in what we call Gender Balanced Couples Therapy. “It's so very powerful and valuable. Of all the work we do, I love the marital co-therapy best. We work well together as a team in helping couples grow a healthy, connected relationship."
I've learned that what matters most in our lives is our connection with those we care about and those who care about us. How to nurture and maintain those connections through the challenges and stresses of our daily lives is what a lot of mental health therapy is about, no matter what the specific presenting problem or diagnosis.
