Life happens! Whether it's a major life transition or a minor change, both can feel very overwhelming and throw you off balance. Perhaps you're anxious about starting a new job?

Many years ago, in a college library, I stumbled across a very early psychology book, printed in the early 1900's. Inside the front cover I found a Taoist inscription that I believe holds great truth, and best summarizes my philosophy of treatment: "....he who knows how to cleanse the current of a stream begins by clearing out it's source. And he who would strengthen the end of a process must commence with making it's beginning correct."

My work includes authoring 5 books, 6 book chapters, and 16 journal articles, I am a Professor in NYU’s MA program, and I am an examiner for psychologists seeking board certification.

As a couples counselor with over 20 years experience, I can help you and your partner if the following apply to you: Do you feel frustrated, disconnected and detached from your partner?

Do you see only problems? Is peace in the home a fairy tale? Does your child no longer share your values? Help is on the way! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience working with couples and families struggling with issues such as depression, behavioral problems, psychiatric symptoms or relationship issues. I use a research-based model, Structural Therapy, to achieve positive results in a short time. Structural Therapy focuses on problematic issues in the context of social interactions, e.g., interactions among children, between children and parents, between dating partners, or between spouses.

My natural focus is on individuals experiencing symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I believe that making a strong connection right from the start is important and when an individual feels like he or she is understood, he or she is more willing to give the process of change a try. It also helps when those who experience ADHD or ASD are able to accept that what they are living with is not a disability but rather a strength and that it is okay to feel and be different. I say this from experience because I am childhood diagnosed.
