30 years of experience practicing in the Fairfield County area have allowed me to become very familiar with the particular challenges faced within our community. There are many different forms of therapy and they are all helpful in bringing about therapeutic change. We'll work together to determine the optimal style for your needs. Therapy is one of the best ways people can take control of their life and become more of the person they want to be.
Simply put, therapy can help you create a happier and more fulfilling life. I don't focus on a technique. I focus on you; who you are and what we need to know and understand to make the changes you want. With over 30 years experience as a psychologist, I know that every life has problems. But problems have solutions. The problem pushing you into therapy doesn't define you.
Unhappy marriages, stressful lifestyles, parenting issues, anxiety and depression are problems. Working together we can solve the them. My office in Westport, Connecticut is comfortable and private.

There are many different kinds of therapy, and they all are helpful in bringing about therapeutic change.
Some therapists have one way of working and stick to that method.
Others, like me, have trained in a variety of approaches and use them as they are called for throughout therapy.
These are the therapeutic methods I am trained in and use.
This method values a deep understanding of your psychology, focusing on how your early experiences have shaped the way you look at yourself and the world.
