I have had over twenty years of experience in working with adults and couples from varied backgrounds.  My practice deals with individual and couples and can specialize in sexual issues, dating issues, relationship problems, parenting themes, dealing with job loss and career issues.  My approach to psychotherapy looks to identify whatever may be interfering with your state of personal happiness in everyday life. 

I have a very strong background in psychoanalytic training but also believe that everyone is unique and needs to be understood in a singular way to effect positive results.  I also work with people in a short term way effecting changes quickly, if that is required. 

I am familiar and comfortable in working with people from different backgrounds and cultures and respectful of religious affiliations and beliefs.  I am excellent at identifying the themes that are inhibiting you from moving forward in a wonderful way in your life and in a nurturing, non-threatening and confidential environment helping you to achieve the results you are looking for in your life.

In order to get a sense of the work we may embark on, I am willing to provide a free ten minute phone consultation and evaluation and a reduced first session fee if need be.
