As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges.

I have extensive expertise in addressing a wide range of issues, including communication problems, life transitions, trauma recovery, attachment challenges, and workplace stress.

Human beings suffer. There's no getting around it. It's a fact of life. People suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy conflicts, various forms of addictions, low self-esteem, career-related concerns, grieving loss and from the vicissitudes of life transitions. How can a therapist guide you from a place of discomfort and discontent to a place of relative peace of mind? I offer a particular kind of relationship (a therapeutic reliance) that enables you to better understand yourself and to gain distance/perspective about your distress as well as leading to insight that translates to change. I work to help you to see that some of the strategies you've been using to live your life have not really resulted in you getting the things you most value most in life. Therapy is about putting these dysfunctional strategies under a microscope and, together, constructing a new way to "do" your life. The tools you get to implement these new strategies will help you to navigate the inevitable obstacles you'll come across in your day-to-day living towards the achievement of your goals. The result of a successful period of psychotherapy is that the individual achieves more stability in his/her work and relationship life as well as feeling more satisfaction and contentment about himself and his life. I am particularly experienced and trained in the area of addictions, both substance abuse and "process" addictions - sex, porn, shopping, gambling. I am published and interviewed by major media about cybersex addiction and am considered to be an expert in "kink friendly" therapy, having been interviewed in a British HBO show about sadomasochism.
