I am a Connecticut Licensed Psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience and training. My doctorate is from Yeshiva University, having graduated in 1982, with special focus on Cognitive Behavioral interventions. Areas of interest include mindfulness meditation, energetic healing, Internal Family Systems therapy and the use of E.M.D.R.[ eye movement desensitization and reprocessing]. My work with patients is focused on a compassionate, permissive and non judgmental approach to treatment. While traditional talk therapy can be of significant benefit, the approaches I utilize today go beyond the scope of[ talk therapy] and are more comprehensive in how healing takes place. The results sustain over time and the quality of life that gets restored is impressive. I am passionate about these approaches because they work and I get to see the lives of my patients finding pleasure and enjoyment and freedom from the pain that they came into therapy experiencing. I’m married for over 24 years, have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I love to bike, swim, play pickleball and hike throughout the world with my wife. I have taken my camera, shooting photographs in this country, mostly the southwest and throughout the world. Many of those pictures hang in our home in the country, where we also have a cabin in the woods.
