Every situation is different and each problem unique.  I am committed to helping individuals and couples communicate productively and to work out differences. Together we sort out the heart of a problem and proceed to finding an appropriate solution. My years of experience have taught me to listen to the underlying difficulties beneath apparent issues with which people struggle.  My special expertise has been in anxiety and panic disorders, substance abuse and interpersonal problems. In each situation, defining the core problem is essential to moving forward. I am adept at unravelling and simplifying complicated clinical situations. As a teacher and supervisor of therapists in universities and psychoeducational institutes, it is most satisfying to see peoples lives turn around.
