Personal Comments:
I am an empathic human being and a highly trained and experienced certified psychoanalyst. I am also highly trained in the assessment and treatment of addictions, to include substance abuse, alcoholism and other addictive drugs.
I am very comfortable with myself and can readily reach within myself to be with most other people. I am imaginatively intuitive, always well grounded and consistently in touch with another's psychic structure and needs. I am a thoughtful and kind person.
I am committed to traveling with another person on a journey with his/her self-discovery. The road can be short, long, bumpy or treacherous. I love challenge.
It is important to me to help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; for example, career change, job change, death/illness in family, injury, divorce, new marriage, new success, etc. I am committed to providing high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I am also committed to traveling the lengthy road of psychoanalysis with people who want to take the voyage.

General Comments:
I am an empathic human being and a highly trained and experienced certified psychoanalyst and licensed clinical social worker. I have a broad range of expertise in facing life on life's terms. I have assisted many individuals to change--change their lives; change their careers; change their jobs; change their personal choices. I can assist you with short and/or longer term commitments in getting a career/passion/or major job change to fruition. If you are unhappy in your relationship(s), change here is also possible.
Some consumers are in a "stalemate" in their therapy--where there is a serious impasse and "work" is forfeited. Much behavioral actions assume first place by both "patient" and "therapist." I consult with individuals who can no longer work productively in their current therapy.
I am very comfortable with myself and can readily reach within myself to be with most other people. I am imaginatively intuitive, always well grounded and consistently in touch with another's psychic structure and needs. I am a thoughtful and kind person.
I am committed to traveling with another person on a journey with his/her self-discovery. The road can be short, long, bumpy or treacherous. I love challenge.
I like to help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; for example, career change, death/illness in family, early "recovery," relapse with addiction(s), divorce, new marriage, new success, etc. I am committed to providing high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I am also committed to traveling the lengthy road of psychoanalysis with people who want to take the voyage.
Another "arm" of my private practice is "Second Opinions":
SECOND OPINIONS:
The need for a second opinion for one experiencing major change/a significant life transition is of value for HEALYH -- mental, physical and spiritual. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry about significant change(s)which really disguises the depth of the fears and grief involved. Anxiety ensues and one begins to doubt whether the new is even possible.
Some examples for need for a second opinion:
· Too long in the same therapy
· Much insight/understanding without any significant behavior change
· Much unresolved anger with the "therapist"
· A long stalemate in therapy with seemingly little change(s)
· Frequent power struggles with the therapist
· In many different therapies or therapists
· Never been in therapy
