PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY:
I believe in a results-oriented approach to problems. That means keeping abreast of the latest research and knowing how to use all the effective techniques that are available to therapists today. No one-size-fits-all approach is valid.
In my experience, most people who come to therapy want to solve their problems as quickly as possible. While it isn’t realistic to expect overnight cures, the therapist does have an obligation to seek the quickest, most effective way to approach each problem and each individual.
I am often asked by other therapists to help with men who have been reluctant to enter therapy or who have resisted the recommendations of other therapists. My experience indicates that this reluctance is sometimes justified. Men’s needs and desires often get short-shrift in therapy. I believe that men and women are different and the interests of both have to be recognized in therapy.
I strongly believe that lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, relaxation exercises and improved diet, can substantially improve mental health and well-being. I encourage my clients to make these changes and try to find ways to make it easier for them to do so.

PERSONAL INFORMATION:
I’m married and have one son. Before becoming a therapist I studied political science, sociology and history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at the Sorbonne in Paris. For several years, I taught social science and economics at Lesley College and a few other places. I speak fluent French and Hebrew and a smattering of other languages, having lived for considerable amounts of time in India, Greece and Japan. I love sports and travel, backpack or hotel-style. I’m also very interested in new technologies and how they can improve the delivery of psychotherapy.
