About

"How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?"..."One, but the light bulb has to want to change!" My clients share a genuine desire for self-understanding and motivation for change. But my practice is truly diverse: adults of all ages, nationalities,ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. In addition to writers, performing and visual artists, I treat professionals, non-professionals, stay-at-home parents and retirees. I work with adult ADD and specialize in life transitions. I work best with clients who want a true therapeutic partner and an interactive approach. My approach is relational and psychodynamic. I focus on each client's specific needs. However, over the past 30+ years, I have specialized in anxiety disorders, depression, separation issues, self-esteem, relationship/ family issues and learning issues. I also have run coed therapeutic groups for over thirty years.
