For couples therapy, I work to enhance your connection, resolve conflicts, improve communication, cultivate trust and intimacy, enhance sexual chemistry and romance, and become more compassionate partners. Recovery from affairs and pre-marital counseling are further specializations. I consult to individuals around stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship issues. I provide a comfortable environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. I listen attentively and, more importantly, I provide you with insight, guidance, and skills to effectively make the changes you desire. In person or telehealth sessions are available.
Couples treatment includes Gottman method, EFT and Problem Solving therapy. Individual specialties include the treatment of anxiety, work-life balance, depression and OCD. Utilizing Integrative therapies, attachment theory, CBT and mindfulness, I customize your sessions to resonate with your unique personality. Self help reading, homework are provided.
Trained at Columbia University, I provide anecdotes and insight, offering perspective with a sense of humor. Personally, I am a father of four, happily married, enjoy running, cooking, baking, music and practice yoga and meditation. I offer a 20 minute complimentary consultation to help you better understand my approach and answer any of your questions.
