I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc. I provide high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I also do "second opinions" for anyone experiencing therapy stalemate and/or major change. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry--a disguise to the depth of fear(s). Anxiety ensues and one doubts whether the "new" is possible.
I am a Certified Psychoanalyst, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and NYS CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Counselor). I am an excellent listener, travelling with many on rugged terrains who have resisted professional help. I have the ability to stay with most people on their journey. I love a good challenge.
I do second opinions in mental health -- -- I would be glad to meet you for an indepth "checkup." A two session "HearttoHeart." If we are not a "fit" based on my age, office, personality, etc., I will help you, on my time, find someone highly trained for you to see.
