About
Welcome! Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, unfulfilled or invalidated at work or in your relationships? Experiencing intense sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness, stuck in unsatisfying or self-defeating patterns? Worried about a struggling child or challenged by a troubled teen or difficult family member? Having romantic/marital difficulties, contemplating breakup/divorce? I can help. Together we can build a compassionate, empathic "team effort" that builds upon & enhances your existing strengths, helps you learn new, optimal coping strategies & communication & relationship skills, heals pain and suffering, overcomes obstacles, optimizes career, school or family wellbeing & success, enhances feelings of life satisfaction and fulfillment, and maximizes your and your loved ones' potential. In choosing a therapist, I suggest meeting 2 or 3, then consider (1) good rapport/ comfort/ connection, humor, relates well to you? (2) insightfulness & empathic attunement, "gets" your issues, sees connections & patterns, you felt understood? (3) clear thinker & communicator, not vague or jargon-laden? (4) practical focus on problem-solving, life enhancement? (5) felt helpful? (6) experience (over 35 years), (7) intelligence (Fulbright Scholar) and quality of training (2 Harvard fellowships, top-ranked PhD and internship programs), (8) evidence of competence (trained other therapists at Ivy League teaching hospital), (9) past achievements (publications, 8 years Instructor/ Assistant Professor at Cornell Med School), (10) knowledgeable, up to date - professional reading, conferences?
