Welcome to my website. I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York & Connecticut, with over 18 years of experience in dealing with a wide range of issues. My goal is to help my clients who are struggling with the stresses or overwhelming problems life can often present, as well as those wishing to enter therapy on a journey of deeper self-understanding. I am committed to helping people work toward developing the skills and perspectives helpful in overcoming the barriers that life can present.

I believe in balance, personal growth and healing, not in the stigmatizing labels and assembly-line, "medicate them and out the door" policies of modern managed care practice. Your journey into psychotherapy should provide hope of a better and freer life, increase self esteem and self awareness and allow you to remove the obstacles that prevent you from reaching your true potential. A healthy state of psychological functioning is important to our ability to deal with life satisfactorily.

In today's society, there are a variety of increasingly common disruptions that can impede our ability to get the most out of life. These can sometimes be caused by impairments in our emotional functioning, such as a mood disorder like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder (also referred to as "Manic-Depression"). We may also be challenged with behavioral problems, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

With many years of experience in treating anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, intimacy and communication, parenting skills, and professional dissatisfaction I have developed a style of psychotherapy that emphasizes balance, healthy interpersonal interactions, dynamic insight, and cognitive change.
