I integrate effective, solution-focused approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma & behavioral addictions as well as in marriage, teen and family counseling & coaching. My approach is direct and interactive. For almost 30 years, I've helped scores of patients and clients. My modalities include EMDR for trauma and PTSD, EFT ("tapping") for anxiety and depression, and hypnotherapy for manifesting behavioral change. I facilitate "Active Listening" communication skills for couples and families. My offices are in New City, NY, in Rockland County near Ramsey and Woodcliff Lake, NJ, and in Warwick, NY in Orange County near Greenwood Lake and Monroe. I also practice virtually via my confidential web portal.

My Approach

For true change and healing, traditional psychotherapy alone so often misses the mark. In fact, it sometimes keeps people “stuck” in their problems and addicted to the therapy itself. The traditional psychodynamic method without tools simply does not work for the vast majority of people. I teach practical skills and techniques to my patients and clients employing "hands-on" approaches.

Couples Counseling

I completed an externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, considered by many to be the most successful approach to couples counseling in the world today. It is one of the most well-researched and best validated approaches to couples therapy in North America. An astounding 86 percent of couples reported feeling happier in their relationships. This is in stark comparison to other forms of couples therapy which have been shown in studies to be only about 35 percent effective in healing relationships.
