I am a family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I provide supervision and training, as well as therapy, and am a senior faculty member at the Minuchin Center for the Family.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults in the context of individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. I work with traditional and non-traditional families.
As a family therapist, regardless of who I am seeing, I am always concerned with the many ways in which our families and our significant relationships impact our lives, and in helping people to access their strengths and resources. I specialize in helping people who are experiencing:
I am also a hypnotherapist. I use hypnotherapy, along with other modalities, primarily in helping with depression and with anxiety issues (general anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorders). I also teach at the NY Society for Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Hypnosis ( NYSEPH)
I work with married and unmarried couples who are having difficulties. They may be fighting a lot or feel that they aren’t communicating well. Some couples come when they are thinking about getting married, others on the brink of divorce.
I have helped many couples to reinvigorate their relationships. Many others have come to me for guidance in handling conflicts that erupt into violence.
Though we don’t often think this way, couples therapy can also be a useful way of treating individual problems. Research has shown, for example, that couples therapy can be an effective treatment for depression.
