Over 30 years of experience in private practice has taught me that no therapeutic intervention works unless it is built on a strong therapeutic bond - one that is based on the therapist listening, empathically, and without judgment, to each client's story: his/her woes, worries, desires and needs. Only when the client feels heard and understood can real therapeutic work begin: change-work is the result of a partnership. My ideal client could be a couple or an individual. It could be anyone, in fact, who, feels unhappy with some aspect of his or her life and/or suffers from anxiety, stress or depression. My ideal client wants to change, but doesn't know how. That's where my expertise comes in. For many, many years I have helped adults and adolescents resolve the marital, family and work problems which produce or maintain their high levels of stress and move beyond the obstacles that have stopped them from reaching their goals. Each person has a unique story and presents a challenge to me, which I still relish after all these years--to find the approach that will work best to get the person "unstuck."
