In my 45 years of post-doctoral experience I've learned to draw from psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral approaches so that I can be most effective. My thinking has always been integrative and that has prevented me from taking a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Over the years it has become clear to me that there are two essential ingredients in helping people change; establishing a strong, real working alliance built on mutual trust, and altering the person's perceptions of themselves and the world around them. I do not have a single "specialty" and work with school-age children through seniors. I am experienced in treating ADHD, High Functioning ASD (Asperger's disorder) and separation/divorce issues and I enjoy working with couples. I also conduct evaluations in Spanish in connection with immigration-related issues (Asylum and Impact Evaluations.) I am a partner at GKSW, a group practice that has been my professional "home" for 41 years. I am proud of the fact that we have been able to maintain a high quality practice where all people are treated with respect.
