I am a Connecticut Licensed Psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience and training. My doctorate is from Yeshiva University, having graduated in 1982, with special focus on Cognitive Behavioral interventions. Areas of interest include mindfulness meditation, energetic healing, Internal Family Systems therapy and the use of E.M.D.R.[ eye movement desensitization and reprocessing]. My work with patients is focused on a compassionate, permissive and non judgmental approach to treatment. While traditional talk therapy can be of significant benefit, the approaches I utilize today go beyond the scope of[ talk therapy] and are more comprehensive in how healing takes place. The results sustain over time and the quality of life that gets restored is impressive. I am passionate about these approaches because they work and I get to see the lives of my patients finding pleasure and enjoyment and freedom from the pain that they came into therapy experiencing. I'm married for over 24 years, have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I love to bike, swim, play pickleball and hike throughout the world with my wife. I have taken my camera, shooting photographs in this country, mostly the southwest and throughout the world. Many of those pictures hang in our home in the country, where we also have a cabin in the woods.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
