Philosophy:
Although sessions usually cover current issues, I believe the influence of past is extremely important to explore as needed. Some of the many areas with which I work are: relationships, gay issues, dating, breakups, communication and coping strategies, depression, anxiety, loss and grieving, work-addiction, and creativity. I work with individuals, couples, and groups - ages 20-120 . My training is psychodynamic, but I have an eclectic approach with a style which is verbal and interactive.
