I approach my patients in a non-judgmental way with deep empathy and acceptance. My 40 years as a restructuring lawyer gives him the unique life experience to help my patients identify the problems that brought them into therapy, and then engage with them in a journey to find the individual strengths they already possess to move past the problem and forward with their lives. Many patients come into therapy believing that they are the problem that is preventing them from living a happy and fulfilling life. I seek to separate the person from the problem and explore the ways in which the problem is acting as a barrier.
I've worked with patients of many different ages and backgrounds and have experience working with teens, adults, families and couples in individual, family, and couples counseling on a wide range of issues. I've also worked extensively with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.
I utilize a direct, client centered, problem-solving approach that integrates cognitive and narrative techniques.
