Counseling and Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples
Highly Experienced and Compassionate Therapist
You may be anxious, sad and lonely, in the middle of a difficult relationship or having family-related issues, but rest assured that these feelings can be easily dealt with and eventually overcome. Your first step towards improvement should be getting help from a competent, empathic and caring mental-health professional. By working together to unravel your current feelings in personalized and safe therapy sessions, your current negative feelings are likely to transition into profound undertstanding, general optimism and an enduring happiness in your everyday life.
Being a competent, empathic and caring professional, my immediate goal is to help you recognize and understand the feelings of negativity that may be standing in your way to personal and/or professsional fulfillment. In our therapy sessions, you will be treated with care, empathy and light touches of humor. In our journey together, you will explore and learn how these feeling have evolved, how they disrupt your everyday life, and most importantly, how to let them go.
In our conveniently scheduled zoom sessions, I will always welcome your expressions of anger, fear, loneliness, worthlessness, addiction and loss. By our working together through these feelings, it will not take long for you to discover newfound knowledge and strength, and you will develop the 'tools' you will need to successfully face everyday challenges. Of course, I would remain available for you to check in and tell me about your progress.

I also trained and supervised several mental health professionals, who readily acknowledge a marked improvement in their own lives as well as in the treatment of their clients.

Individual Therapy
I incorporate a blending of treatment modalities, to optimally address the client's specific needs and unique circumstances. My goal is to identify negative upbringing and/or relationship experiences, have the client become fully aware and able to neutralize their disruption of his/her daily life. Inevitably, the results of these joint efforts are healthier, more effective modes of functioning and a general feeling of well being.
Couples Therapy
My goal in helping troubled couples is to provide them with insight, and the tools needed to build a healthier relationship. Even within the joint sessions, I assist each one to recognize and take 'ownership' of their part of their disfunctional relationship. Newfound mutual tolerance and understanding will usually help mend and reverse unhappy situations.
Supervision & Consultation
I assist/supervise psychotherapists in the treatment of their own clients. I help them become aware of the sometimes hidden relationship taking place within treatment sessions. Invariably, having an improved understanding of both sides' treatment-resistant attitudes, my supervised psychotherapists report much improved client retention and success rate.
