I have been in the helping profession for the majority of my adult life . Through the years, I have learned that we all face challenges from time to time that can confuse and overwhelm the best of us. Sometimes it just takes a different voice, a different perspective and the understanding of another to help clear the path to self fulfillment.

If you are seeking therapy it means you are wise enough to know you can do something about your problems and brave enough to try. For each person therapy is a unique collaboration. While I use my training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral treatment, and family therapy as guidance, success depends on paying careful attention to a client's personal history, life situation, and current goals. While the past shapes us and is always with us, your "here and now" issues are the focus, as we emphasize and reinforce your strengths while also addressing problems.

I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a satisfying and productive life , and that it's never too late to start. We all also have the capacity to get "stuck" in unproductive situations or relationships. The key ingredients for a successful outcome in therapy are the individual's, couple's, or family's readiness for change, and the safe, supportive, collaborative relationship we develop. My deepest interest lies in helping clients recognize their own needs, goals, strengths, under-utilized talents, and decision-making capacity. With the clarity they obtain, I can help them take some necessary steps to improve their lives.

As men, many of us have been taught to hold in our feelings… often leading to pent-up anger… too much drinking… acts of rage. We have been taught that talking about feelings is a sign of weakness. In his book, MEN’s LIVES, about the history of fishermen on Long Island’s East End, Peter Matthiessen quotes a young man in 1929, “ … no one could have a happier moment … than to be asked to be one of the boat crew by a captain you had always admired …the honor soon became a reality… the achin, achin of every muscle….. I must endure without a word.”

I believe the key to a successful therapeutic experience is the relationship between the therapist and the client. With this in mind, I understand the importance of showing non-judgemental compassion and respect for every person who asks for my help. My work with individuals is focused on finding change and building a foundation on which they can confidently manage life ’s challenges and live a healthier life . My work with couples and families helps them find strategies to diffuse conflict and learn to communicate more effectively.

Are you stuck? In a relationship? With an addiction? In a job? If yes, read on. Mindfulness. Intention. Contemplation. Higher Power. Detachment. Co-dependency. What do these mean? What role do they play in helping people with "problems in living"? I think they are essential practices, together with psychotherapy, which can produce transformative thinking and behavior e.g., they can help people get "unstuck" from their dilemma. If interested in exploring these ways of "knowing", please contact me.

Therapy is education. Are you looking for more balance in your life ? Are you unsettled about your place in the changing world?? Almost everyone is. If you want a safe space to talk about and learn from what you’re grappling with, you have found it at Hampton Ed-Space I have been a psychotherapist and a teacher for 35+ years. I believe that learning is ongoing and livelong. My work as a therapist and as a teacher is grounded in the belief that therapy, like school, is only meaningful and transformational when the setting is right for you. Education should not be about shame … nor should therapy.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life , they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.

Psychotherapy . . . a dynamic, interactive journey. I offer a safe, caring, professional environment in which we co-create a relationship essential for your healing and growth to occur naturally. With you, I undertake the opportunity to cultivate a supportive and trusting relationship. In my 30+ years as a therapist, I have come to know that it is the genuine connection between us that paves the way to successful, fulfilling therapy. I will help you to learn more about yourself, to understand why you do what you do and to uncover, strengthen and integrate the many aspects that make you authentically you.

Are you wanting to restructure your life in a more meaningful way but not sure what your new life can look like? I can assist you. My clientele includes diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, LGBTQA, individuals, couples, and families. Let’s talk.

I hold a Master of Science from Columbia University and Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. My experience includes intensive work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, couples therapy and bereavement. I've worked on-staff as a psychotherapist at Stony Brook Hospital, The Dunes East Hampton and Quannacut Addiction Rehab Eastern Long Island, as well as in private practice for well over a decade. My mental health column, "Thoughts from a Therapist" appears in the East Hampton Press, Southampton Press, Sag Harbor Express and online at 27east.com.

My practice focuses on Marriage Counseling, Couples Therapy and Individual Therapy. If you are in a committed relationship and having problems my training and experience will help close the emotional and sexual distance between you. I am a former editor to the Ladies Home Journal column "Can This Marriage be Saved?" and the author of three books on marriage. In individual therapy problems that cause anxiety, self doubt and stress are addressed. I offer insights and strategies to resolve personal issues so that your life has an ease of being, feels free and full, and less of a struggle.

If you're affected by daily stresses of life , significant issues related to depression, anxiety or interpersonal relationships, I am a New York licensed psychologist and certified psychoanalyst that will help you resolve these problems. Clients gain insight into what's troubling them so that they can manage their issues more effectively. I work in an intimate setting, situated in a comfortable environment overlooking a private garden. It is a safe and confidential space. I work with people who are having difficulty developing and or maintaining significant relationships, experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, feelings of being unlovable, or "just getting by" rather than thriving.

Everyone encounters problems in their lives. Most of us, most of the time feel able to overcome them or weather the storm and find a way forward. Yet most of us, at some point face problems which feel overwhelming and for which we need outside help. Regardless of how severe or long-standing your problems are I am confident I can help. Learning new ways of being and adjusting how we take care of ourselves and our life can and should be empowering, positive, and uplifting.

When you feel stressed or depressed, have work, health, family or relationship problems, need someone to talk to who can really understand you, or if you want deep inner peace and contentment, it sometimes may seem overwhelming to find the right person who can help you. I provide deeply respectful understanding, acceptance, and compassion for each individual and the circumstances in which they presently find themselves. Working with me will be a mutual endeavor in which you and I will join our minds and our hearts together for the purpose of bringing forth the life you really want to live.

I offer couples counseling and individual psychotherapy, and use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work. I work psychoanalytically (seeking unconscious motivations) and cognitively, looking at present issues and challenges. This means that I utilize both short-term AND long-term therapeutic methodologies. I specialize in working with people who are depressed, anxious, suffering from sexual or relationship issues, daunted by the problems they face, or who find themselves creatively blocked, or not living up to their potential in their vocation, or who wish to guide their careers to new heights and new directions.
