I am a relational psychotherapist in private practice in Kingston, NY, and I serve as the Director of Education and Faculty in Psychoanalysis at the Institute for Expressive Analysis in New York City. Also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology, ACT-Matrix, Coherence Therapy, and Embodied Archetypes, I integrate these modalities with a deep understanding of the transpersonal into a flexible, resonantly attuned, here-and-now way of working. I offer a free initial 50-minute consultation to give us both enough time, with no expectations or pressure, to decide whether we want to try working together.

Beyond being a therapist, I am a husband, dog-dad and former band and choir geek. As a therapist, I believe that our lives and experiences are shaped and formed by the people, experiences and places in our lives. Degrees, schooling and theoretical orientation are important, but they don't replace authentic human connection. I have chosen to focus my work within the LGBTQ+ community because of my own past struggles trying to find gay therapist with whom I felt comfortable and understood by.

As an ABPP board certified neuropsychologist in the Hudson Valley, those in need of my assessment-evaluation services are children and adults challenged by learning difficulties, attentional deficits, memory problems, and pragmatic-social communication issues with underlying causes in neurological and/or environmental circumstances. In addition these individuals also unfortunately, but understandably, experience emotional distress associated with these difficulties. These difficulties may have had their onset in early development, through illness, as a result of injury, or developing in later adulthood. Their conditions usually impact major life roles in school, work, and relationships.

Despite living a life that looks stable and successful, you lack direction, and so you fear for your future. You feel rudderless, like you’ve lost yourself along the way. You live a lifestyle that looks ideal to others, yet it hasn’t brought you the meaning and joy it was supposed to. Now, difficult thoughts and emotions become more present: isolation, distraction, and anxiety. Spectral questions resurface: “Who am I?” “What’s the point of all this?” “What direction is our society headed in?” You know you need to reconnect with yourself and get grounded, but how?

My ideal clients are adolescents and adults who are ready to break old habitual patterns which perpetuate symptoms and internal conflict. Whether it's anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship problems or addiction. The source of the problem lies in defense responses created to avoid painful unconscious material from early childhood and/or other traumatic experiences. Traditional talk therapy is limited in its results because it doesn't get to the root of the problem which lies in the central nervous system and deeper parts of the brain.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
