I provide individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults as well as couple therapy. I also lead three psychoeducational groups (Men's Group; Relationship Group; and Parenting Group) and facilitate a dynamic psychotherapy process group. Romantic relationship difficulties (including narcissistic and codependent styles), life transition issues, chronic self-sabotaging patterns, low self-esteem, sexual compulsivity, adolescent development, and parent-teen conflict are my main areas of expertise.
Often one's personality, attitudes, and choices are unconsciously tailored to the perceived or actual demands of some significant other. There has been a gradual, insidious censorship of who one is and who one could be. The therapeutic space I attempt to establish frees the patient from these constraints.
My therapeutic approach is geared toward providing a comfortable, supportive space in which my observations and inquiries about the patient's experience help promote a greater degree of self-observation and self-acceptance.

I utilize an integration of Freudian/psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive, and existential concepts in my clinical practice. Approximately half of my practice is devoted to individual psychotherapy, and the other half addresses work with couples, groups, families, and parent-teen relationship dilemmas.
