About me
When you’re shopping for a therapist, it can be hard to know if it’s a fit. For a start, you’ll need to learn a bit about each therapist’s background including their work experience, training, and areas of expertise.
Here’s where you can start to learn about me.
Experience
I have over 30 years' experience helping individuals, couples, children and families to navigate a wide range of issues, such as relationship and marital problems (including communication, intimacy and infidelity), anxiety, depression, grief, social difficulties, work conflicts, parenting and life transitions.
Education
In 1989, I earned a masters degree in clinical social work from Columbia University. Since then I have completed several intensive post-graduate certificate programs, including in individual therapy, couple therapy, child therapy, mediation and collaborative divorce.
Teaching
I teach nationally and internationally on such topics as divorce, psychodynamic psychotherapy, parenting and alternate dispute resolution. I regularly lecture and conduct trainings for family law attorneys, mental health professionals, financial professionals, multi-disciplinary audiences and the general public.
