More Info About My Practice

I had my own personal psychoanalysis. It made a world of difference for me. I have studied doing psychotherapy long and hard and continue to study and read. I love psychotherapy and I love doing it. I know what it took to help me and I know what it takes to help others.

Now the bad news, you have to work at therapy, even when you don't want to. You have to come, you have to talk and unfortunately, you have to pay. You will have to overcome your resistance to change and increase your awareness. It takes real effort and grit. But I guarantee you, if you come to see me, I will work non-stop for you. Please know, this is not a class. It's a treatment, a procedure, a method, that works. It's a professional relationship, that will for always be of significant help to you and your loved ones.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I have two reasons why I love doing psychotherapy. One is an altruistic reason and the other is selfish. I love seeing people getting better. I love providing something that is of value that lasts a life time and can improve other lives because of one person's change. The selfish reason is, I feel good doing psychotherapy because it is the one thing I truly excel at. I am a one-trick-pony. I'm not an athlete or some brilliant scholar, But therapy I can do well.

In addition to doing long-term psychotherapy with adults, I've developed four specialties. I do evaluations and treatment for those struggling with Asperger's Syndrome. I also run an Asperger Group. Secondly, I have devise a pre-marital evaluation format to help newly established couples. Thirdly, I work with couples. Fourth, I do psychotherapy and evaluations with children, of all ages.

What Makes up a Problem?

What makes a problem? Let's say this. "If it's not one thing, it's a "MOTHER"; then you have to look a little "FATHER", but in the end, it's spilled milk. The world says, "You can't cry over spilled milk", but therapy says you have to. I am not bashing parents. Parents do the best they are capable of. Many times, they are so much better than their parents were. Nonetheless, the quality of your first relationship is imprinted on your psyche, the good, the bad and the ugly. What exacerbates the problem, is one's denial, fear and resistance. Therapy helps you be one with youir family but also to individuate in healthy ways.
