If you are seeking to work through anxiety, depression, an identity issue, a life transition, a traumatic experience, or a loss, I may be the therapist to help you.
As a Certified Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapist, I can also help couples deeply reconnect on the level of needs and feelings--as opposed to having that same unproductive argument over and over again.
With individuals, I often work in the here-and-now. Additionally, I pay attention to your history in order to understand (together with you) how your past experiences might be affecting your capacity to live well in the present and imagine a future.
I am especially interested in working with people who are adjusting to, or coming to terms with, physical or sensory disabilities or chronic, life-threatening or terminal illnesses. I also enjoy working with family members of people with disabilities/ illnesses and with couples for whom disability/ illness is a factor.
On a personal note: I'm in my early fifties, and am originally from New York. This last may account for my direct, genuine and empathic interpersonal style that caused a past supervisor of mine to remark, "You're so deeply caring with your clients, without being...well...nice."
