Hello and Welcome to my website.

A healthy mind is a beautiful mind. From time to time, however, our marvelous minds suffer from relationship problems, anxiety, depression, unfulfilled goals, and inner conflicts. Disturbing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs interfere with our happiness and success. Though we may try to put these negative reactions aside, on a deeper level, we stay hurt, confused, and uncertain about how to proceed.

I would be delighted to meet you, and talk over your situation.  If you are thinking about therapy for you or your loved ones, you have come to the right place. Since a healthy mind is our greatest asset, addressing the impediments to your success and happiness is a worthy investment.

Help is on the way, if you are willing. Psychotherapy begins with your desire to seek out a special kind of doctor-patient relationship--one that is based on trust, confidentiality, and a willingness to speak your truth. When you have the experience of being deeply heard and understood, you can let the healing-renewal process begin. There is no getting around it, though; we need to go through our problems and pain to get over and beyond them.

I match the treatment to meet your unique needs, personality, and life situation. Not all therapies and therapists are alike. Just as you would seek a highly skilled surgeon to take care of the delicate operations needed for your body, selecting a psychotherapist requires a similar level of care. With over 30 years of direct and related experience, extensive training, and two doctorates (in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis), I offer you the best integration of scientific research and state-of-the-art methods for your psychotherapy success.

My services are organized into 4 levels of treatment.

• Consultation and Crisis Management
• Short Term Psychotherapy
• Medium Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
• Long Term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

 Here is a partial list of problems that I treat:

Anxiety:  Are you overwhelmed by uncertainty, worry, and confusion? Psychotherapy is an effective way to reduce your anxiety and increase your well being.

Attachment Issues: Adoption, Loss and Abandonment: When our primary connections are broken, we suffer enormous loss and injury to our self esteem. Experience how relational psychotherapy can address deep wounds.

Body Image Concerns-Eating Dysregulation: Psychotherapy helps you to develop your inner self, and to build your unique identity. You need not be a victim of perfectionism, the culture/media, your own self hatred, or your families' dynamics.

Depression and Mood Disorders: Life can bring us many unexpressed frustrations and disappointments that lead to a sense of futility. Intense emotional swings, disparaging thoughts and painful beliefs can undercut our health. We can work together to understand and treat your bleak moods and bad feelings.

Mind-Body Problems & Pain Management: The mind-body system is extremely complex and involves life-long attunement to the mutual influence and needs of both. Psychotherapy can integrate mind and body awareness and improve the functioning and health of both.

Relationship Problems: Marriage, Family, Couples, Parent-Child, Friends, Bosses and Coworkers

Self Esteem Issues: Identity and Actualization

Stressful Life Transitions

Substance Abuse, Addictions and Cravings

Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
