Nothing is as good as getting to know someone in person; but I hope this web site will give you a sense of what it would be like to work with me.
Of course, what you really want to know is, can I help you? You are welcome to email me and tell me a little about yourself and your problem, ask if I have experience with the things you want to have change, or any other questions you have. Meanwhile, here are some basic facts:
Experience
More than 20 years counseling adults (18 and older) in a private practice setting on Manhattan's Upper West Side. If youre not familiar with the term private practice, it means a personal office where you will have more privacy than in a clinic or similar organization.)
Prior to opening a private practice, I worked for a number of years with individuals and groups in organizational settings.
Education
I have two Masters Degrees. One is a Masters in Social Work from Fordham University (essentially, this means a Masters in psychotherapy), and the other is in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling from William Lyon University.
Ive also been trained in many ways of working with people, including cognitive behavioral (CBT), EMDR, psychodynamic, and IPNB (interpersonal neurobiology). All my training has been geared toward providing the latest and best techniques for my clients.
The counseling I do with you will be tailored to fit your needs. In working with you, Ill bring all of my experience, education and study to our work together; and Ill also put all that specific knowledge to one side and really be with you, knowing that together we can create the therapy that is right for you and is what you need.
Feel free to email me or call 212-877-6923. If you like, we can spend a few minutes on the phone so that you can get a sense of whether this is a good fit for you.
