I love my work and find it exciting to meet the challenges brought by working with both new and longstanding clients. I am interested in understanding the complexity of each person and in helping them achieve both short-term and future goals.

Having received my PhD in Psychology in 1985, I have been working with diverse populations. I have been fortunate to have a variety of kinds of clients ranging from young, ambitious professionals and non-professionals, to soon-to-be retiring or transitioning, to elderly and disabled shut-ins. Often there is a reason to include or focus on families. I also find it gratifying to work with LGB issues. More recently, because of my location, I have been consulted by many Orthodox Jews. In terms of long-term goals, I work in depth, helping people to achieve changes which will lead to personal and professional growth and satisfaction. I also work with acute problems to help people reach more immediate goals.

I have received training in hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, EMDR, DBT and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Currently, I am completing a certification in Psychoanalysis at the Postgraduate Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy at Adelphi University.
