Working with a professional when life gets challenging can make the challenges you face a little less overwhelming. I provide therapy to adults, adolescents, and children. I collaborate with clients to understand and motivate anyone who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, personality disorders, or transitional periods. I work with clients who have diverse backgrounds. I also work well with men and anyone who might be apprehensive about beginning counseling.

Having trouble finding, maintaining a relationship? Do you struggle with emotional eating and body image/self-esteem? See me quoted in New York Post, "Is This The Most Dangerous Diet Ever?" by Doree Lewak. Are you pulling your hair out? Trouble sleeping? Feeling stuck, hopeless? I'll help you get what you want sooner, using a variety of techniques to overcome your problems. It may be scary to reach out for help, but it's so much better than continuing down the same unsatisfying path. I listen actively and respond immediately to your concerns with warmth, understanding, and practical suggestions.

Contacting a therapist can be a difficult decision to make. You may already be exhausted by whatever life challenge that now leads you to seek help. Please, know that the hardest part will be getting yourself through my door. The hardest part of my job is usually to guide you in taking self judgement out of the equation and replacing it with empathy and patience. Kindness that you likely only reserve for others other than yourself.

Parenting a child with a special need can be all consuming and heartbreaking. It can require a commitment of time and energy that can jeopardize careers, marriages, and connections with your other children. However, there is a way to find support and a healthier way of living.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, exploratory, and compassionate space for clients to work toward their goals. I utilize a blend of different treatment modalities that are psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed, as well as integrate cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices when appropriate.

During my 40+ years 0f practice here in Chatham my approach to psychological treatment has come to be informed by a number of modalities -- psychodynamic therapy, family systems therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness meditative practice, and, most of all, by my experience working with the people who have come to me for help. Life is challenging and it is certainly not easy to be a person. We are all born with a profound need for a sense of belonging/connection and of significance/substance. Those yearnings drive us to find fulfilling love and meaningful work, which demands constant effort and exposes us to uncertainty and loss. When losses and disappointments come in the realms of love and work and health, we are commonly subjected to debilitating, dispiriting feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression. If we do not handle these unbidden feelings wisely,, we may become angry in destructive ways, or we may withdraw from our responsibilities and our loves, or seek solace in drinking or drugs, or other escapist distractions that only make our lives and our painful feelings worse.

Leaving a toxic relationship is very, very difficult. Manipulation, gaslighting, coercion, shame, self-doubt and sense of a lost self can keep you trapped in the abuse. In these types of romantic and familial relationships, people are left feeling confused and selfish for having their own needs and convinced that they must make the other person happy at all costs. Even when people want to leave, the trauma bond ignites regions of the brain that cause you to feel out of control and "tied" to the relationship. Disengaging from this type of emotional tyranny is possible but requires a deep internal rewiring and grieving.
