Welcome

Welcome to my website. Finding a therapist to help us through difficult periods in our life is one of the most important decisions we can make. I hope the following pages provide what you need to make such a choice.  I have been in practice for over thirty-eight years. During that time, along with my work with patients, I have had the opportunity to speak to both popular and professional audiences in the United States, England and Canada. In the links, listed below, you have the opportunity to review my books as well as to read many of my popular and professional articles.

I believe that therapy requires, on the the therapist’s side, a respectful listening dialogue informed by  committment as well as knowledge. Individuals coming to therapy should be willing to explore their thoughts, feelings and memories with honesty and with a sensible committment of both time and finances. Therapy is designed to give a person a sense of ownership over their lives as well as a deep experience of what it means to be alive. 

 I welcome your response to the articles posted in the blog as well as any comments you might have after listening to my radio shows.  Please click to see my areas of  specializations, as well as: books, articles & reviews, lectures, resume & work place seminars. I hope you find them of interest.

Clinically I do psychoanalytic psychotherapy with individuals and with couples. When doing couples therapy, my wife, Julia, MA, MSW joins me.
