My long term expertise, is the stepfamily/blended family---divorce remarriage and children. I teach and resolve most of the specific challenges to this particular family system. Most therapists have no formal training in the complex stepfamily. Without information, the result is that 2 out of 3 stepfamilies divorce. We have an 84% success rate. I have received an award from the President and written 5 books. I am also an accredited mediator.

I make it a priority to help my clients feel at ease with me and with the work we do together. If you were my client, you can expect me to be warm, welcoming and supportive.

Covid-19 has brought the world of mental health fragility to a new level never seen before. The isolation and loneliness felt by everyone from children to the elderly has caused a rise in depression, anxiety and fear regarding every day life and the future. These strains are unhealthy emotionally and physically and need attention to avoid lasting impressions. The working relationship in therapy is to define underlying issues, stuck thought patterns and transform negative behavior to evolve into a positive and thriving attitude and consequently, life choices. We will join together to create the life you desire, as I help guide you.

I help people with relationships and work, depression, anxiety, sexual issues, coping with fame. Integrating interventions from all orientations, I taught a course on therapy techniques to PhD candidates at Adelphi where I also supervised psychologists in training in doing therapy. I also trained as a psychoanalyst at the White Institute where I supervise and served as Society President.

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.

I have over twenty-five years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. The initial consultation is an opportunity for clients to relax and feel safe to experience a full range of emotions as they explore and discuss the issues that brought them into therapy. I greet each client with courtesy and respect, establishing a therapeutic relationship. I offer sessions via the doxy.me , a confidential, video platform. I am also seeing fully vaccinated clients in my Shelter Island office.

I have been a psychotherapist for almost 40 years. I love my work. I dedicate myself to my practice which means I am spiritually orientated. I learn as much from you as a human being as you do from me. The difference being... that you do not have to take care of me! I am a seasoned therapist. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I work with couples who are struggling with intimacy. I am experienced in teaching mindfulness as a spiritual tool. I treat grief....the loss of a partner, a child or a beloved pet. I am comfortable with tough problems...but i believe laughter an humor play a crucial role in therapy.

Therapy can help you work through problems that feel too big or overwhelming to tackle alone. Together, in a warm and confidential space, we can begin to explore what is making you feel anxious or stuck without judgement or fear. In therapy with me, you will be seen as an individual person with unique desires and experiences, not a collection of symptoms or issues. In session, you can expect liveliness and candor as we discuss the things you wish to explore: relationships, work, worries, goals and sense of self.
