Personal Statement
I saw my first client, a little girl named Naomi, in Israel, twenty years ago. Since then I have had the opportunity to train and work in a variety of settings and with an array of life issues. I have worked with adults and with children; with individuals and with couples; with groups and with families. I have practiced on inpatient units, at outpatient clinics, and on the medical floors of hospitals. I have led workshops on issues such as grief and loss, stress management and recovery from addiction. I have conducted numerous groups, supervised numerous students and consulted to numerous organizations. I have performed psychological testing, neuropsychological evaluations and assessments of ADHD and learning disabilities. I have evaluated candidates for egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy. Finally, I have had extensive training and experience with fertility, adoption and family-building challenges.Throughout all these experiences, I have remained awed by the unique story of every client I have met. I remember each one with fondness and respect. I recognize that every person who walks into my office makes me a witness to their life journey and a partner to a portion of it. More than ever, I feel honored by, and deeply committed to, this treasured partnership.
Most clients perceive me as warm and approachable. I believe it is my job to help people see patterns that hold them back and I am not afraid to do so, but I also believe in relating my observations in a gentle, simple, non-judgmental manner. Clients tell me that this manner has allowed them to hear difficult truths they were never able to face before and that it has motivated them to change.
In order to approach problems in a comprehensive and effective way, I draw from a large number of treatment modalities. I am skilled at a number of counseling approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, solution-focused and interpersonal. When we begin our work, I will describe to you the strategies most likely to benefit you.
You too, may already know what works for you and what doesn't. Together we will determine the focus of our work, its duration, and the modalities we use.
