About

Like all therapists, I'm not for everyone. I don't fit the stereotypical image, walk to the beat of a different drum, maybe like yourself. I try to offer a balance of strength and compassion. I don't want to be solely soft and safe, nor exclusively forceful and aggressive. The art is in finding that balance and offering you that unique mix. You'll probably be divulging some pieces of yourself that are raw and weighty and maybe even a bit scary. This can be difficult, I know, I was a client before I was ever a therapist. View 6 Photos

I'm eclectic, borrowing from many modalities. I love a diversity of clients with varying issues... from teens to folks in the 70's, blue-collar, white-collar, singles and couples, artists, bankers... When competancy is present, I've found that the chemistry between a therapist and client is paramount

My library is filled with tons of Psychology books: Jung and Freud, Gestalt and everything non-fiction. But I'm just as influenced by art and literature, CEO's, stocks, and sports: Rilke, Twain, Steinbeck, Foster-Wallace, CS Lewis, Springsteen, Cash, theSmiths. Balance is key. Also ask about NYC hours
