Great to meet you!

My approach to psychotherapy is always client centered with an emphasis on the clients focus and areas they wish to address. I have worked in counseling and psychotherapy for 38 years in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms and private practice and have created, development and been clinical director for many Intensive Outpatient Programs for Mental Health & Dual Diagnosis. I specialize in all anxiety disorders and sports performance anxiety and all forms of addictions. I work with teenagers and young adults dealing with academic, sports and achievement areas. I work with parents and adults on healthy launching and individuation of their children. With the ever emerging world of technology and media I work with individuals on Video Gaming Addiction, Internet Addiction and Pornography Addiction and poor regulation of screen time which leads to depressed mood, anxiety and poor productivity especially in younger people.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients utilizing rational emotive therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic styles, positive psychology & existentialism. I also have a strong emphasis in behavioral psychology and behavior modification as it relates to all forms of addictions.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to take away from our sessions improvements in coping skills, behavior management, strong interpersonal analytical understanding identifying their own needs and emphasis on focusing on their strengths, goals and relationships with other people.
