Having practiced for more than 40 years in NYC, and now in White Plains, NY and Stamford, CT, I work primarily with patients suffering from panic attacks and/or other anxiety disorders and depression. These are highly treatable conditions and I see fairly rapid progress. I also teach assertiveness and communication skills to enhance relationships. Being successfully married for 47 years, I bring a wealth of personal experience to couples counseling. Therapy is centered on giving people the tools they need to move on and enjoy their lives. I prefer face to face sessions, but also do phone sessions and/or video sessions when needed.

I have spent many years helping my clients identify their issues, set goals and work toward changing their lives for the better. My focus is helping couples, children and adults struggling with a wide range of issues to cope with everyday stressors. These include relationship difficulties, feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety and depression and much more. My style is interactive applying both an interpersonal and cognitive behavioral approach.

It is important to me to work with my clients as a cohesive team, developing the most effective, individualized therapeutic strategies. After all, people are different and shouldn't be fit into a cookie cutter approach. Some clients benefit from in-depth therapy focusing on childhood trauma and loss discovering how these events currently impact them and the destructive patterns that result. Others focus on developing a set of tools they can use to cope with the challenges and stressors in their lives-working on changing the maladaptive ways they may think, feel and act.

I have a very open and straightforward style of conducting treatment. I educate the patient about the factors that have contributed to his/her problems and I instruct the patient in how to make important changes and improvements. It's necessary for me to be sensitive to my patients' needs and abilities and it's important for the patient to be willing to work hard to make some challenging improvements.

I enjoy my work with couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds that are working to improve relationships with their partner, colleagues, family or friends. Many of my clients are couples that would like to increase their connection, better understand each other and feel understood and enhance their intimacy. Some are working to heal from infidelity or other issues that have come up for the couple. I strongly believe in premarital work to create a strong foundation for marriage, as well as, a sense of confidence to navigate sensitive issues in a respectful and appreciative manner.
