My passion is helping individuals and couples create deeper levels of emotional and sexual intimacy. In adults, romantic love can only be truly enjoyed when partners are able to feel safe and secure in turning to each other for their needs.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the field for over 20 years primarily doing psychotherapy with older teens and adults of all ages. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative journey that the therapist and client go on together. One that requires curiosity, self-exploration, attunement, and mutual regard. Choosing a therapist that feels like a good fit is critical to a good outcome so I typically begin by speaking to prospective clients on the phone allowing you to share what you are looking for while allowing you to ask any initial questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process.

If you are seeking to understand yourself and why you are experiencing short or long-term emotional, mental, interpersonal distress (i.e., family, relationships, work), my goal is to help you.

Are you striving for success at work, in your marriage or relationship, or as a parent, but find yourself facing persistent issues? Do you notice recurring patterns in your life and wonder if something deeper might be at play? My research delves into father abandonment and its impact on individuals and their relationships. Many of my clients have experienced parental absence or loss, whether through abandonment, divorce, or a less-than-ideal relationship with a parent. They sense that these early family histories might be influencing their current patterns in marriage, parenting, friendships, and work.

In the broadest terms, my practice centers on the idea of helping you to establish or restore greater authenticity--a more authentic voice, space of desire and trajectory of drive/motivation. This can be addressed through more short-term approaches that focus primarily on the present, or a deeper approach that considers and works through past experiences as they inevitably impact the present in ways not always available to consciousness. By uncovering these occluded forces left over from the past and lingering in the present, you will be able to develop broader insight and live more fully with greater intention.

This summer marks 37 years that I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with children and families in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas. Having grown up in Boston and trained at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital I need to disclose I am still a Red Sox fan. My expertise lies in rendering therapy to children and families and consulting with parents to help them make sense of and deal with the myriad of challenges that our children present. I do not conduct conduct Psychological/Educational Evaluations so if necessary I will refer families to our local experts.
