Traditional strategies

I have been a practicing psychotherapist/healer for the past thirty years. I have heard many stories and  I feel that I can listen with clarity, wisdom  and appreciation  to a wide range of people.

Individuals

Living in the tri state area can be most stressful.  It is difficult to make important practical decisions concerning work, relationships and other aspects of daily life.  I use a combination of traditional psychotherapeutic methods including an understanding of family history and it’s impact on the individual, psychodrama, dream work with practical support, and suggestions to help resolve inner conflicts and “stuckness”.

Couples

New Jersey is just as difficult for relationships.  There are so many “shoulds” about married life or just simply life in a committed relationship that real intimacy and fun can be overlooked and forgotten, I like to offer couples healthy and practical strategies to bring honest communication back in their lives. I often use some of the same psychotherapeutic methods that I described under individual treatment.

Parenting and families

I love working with families.  I am able to work with individual or multiple family relationships, for instance with fathers, parents, mothers and daughters, teenagers or  fathers and sons,  I also like working with grown children and their parents who may still be living together in the family home.  I find that working with one or even two  members of a family can have a  profound healing affect  on  the entire family.  I offer a safe healing space where the family member(s) can express themselves through creativity and conversations.
