What can I say about myself? I have been a Ph.D. Psychologist seeing clients for over 45 years. I worked for NYC for a few years at first, then went into private practice, working in clinics, in my own private offices, in Nursing homes, first in NY, then in NJ. I also did home visits to clients at times. I took a break for 4 years in my 50's at worked in the Casino as a Blackjack dealer! Regular players wanted to sit at Docsandy's table and get some advice as they lost their money! Although it was great fun, I soon returned to my true calling and now can't seem to stop.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session I want the client to be able to tell me what is bothering them and their reasons for signing up for therapy. I reassure them that help is here and I explain CBT and the usual way people upset themselves. It's like a lesson - but don't worry because then I will e-mail them a fun handout or two reiterating what I am teaching them.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

So - I have lots of experience! I've helped many. It's always a treat when I am in a local restaurant and someone runs over to say hello and "thanks." I guess I am a friendly and especially empathetic person. Those are my strengths!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Since I have had experience with almost all stages of the lifespan, my favorite clients are humans who are feeling nervous or sad about who they are and where they are. In other words - people! I like people and feel it is a true honor to be able to get to know them and help them.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I did have the privilege of studying directly with Dr. Albert Ellis, one of the founders of CBT, many years ago. With this method, a person learns how to control and manage their reactions to whatever life brings.

Eclectic

Eclectic means - use whatever is best suited for the client - choose what will help - use all at your disposal. I have found that being empathetic is extremely important.
