Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a specialized graduate degree in Psychotherapy from Nova SE University, the only nationally accredited program in all of Florida. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I'll be very curious to hear your very best hopes for therapy. Set a high bar!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I help very many couples, married or not, straight or other, from many cultures. I can help with most any couples problem, as long as both partners are sure they want to stay together. No divorce or separation counseling. I treat individuals for a wide array of problems, including anxiety, OCD, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, irrational fears, and more.
