Personal Statement

I have extensive experience and have worked with a wide variety of adults of different ages, cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Some examples of clients and situations I have worked with include:

• Men and women who feel lonely, misunderstood, "stuck" at work, or unhappy in a relationship. I assist them to discover lasting solutions to repetitive problems; so that they achieve success, harmony & satisfaction & enhance their emotional well-being.

• Adults of all ages who are confused, overwhelmed, or doubtful -with my help become clearer, more confident & effective in their life. They learn to make the necessary changes & adjustments to successfully face challenges and improve their life situations.

• Helping couples communicate better, stop blaming each other. By developing understanding, trust, mutual respect and tolerance for their differences, compatibility and marital satisfaction is greatly enhanced.

• Helping people recover from painful losses such as relationship break-ups, separation/divorce as well as deaths, relocations and involuntary career changes.
*Helping couples and individuals with various sexual problems, both his and hers.

I enjoy my work and derive great satisfaction from deeply connecting with people. I believe that psychotherapy is a very special process- an important investment that you put in yourself or your relationship. Therefore, it is essential for me to create a safe place, where you can heal your wounds and let your authentic self emerges and strives.

My focus is on the present not the past. My style is nurturing, interactive, and dynamic. I speak openly and directly. I provide structure, give honest feedback and assignment to do at home when necessary. My vast experience allows me to tailor each therapy, using the approaches and techniques that are best suited for your needs.

While working toward overcoming the present hurt that brought you to my office, my ultimate goal is that you learn from this experience & gain awareness about yourself which will stay with you long after therapy is over. The insight that you'll acquire will allow you to feel happier, become more intimate and have improved relationships. With my support, you will overcome emotional barriers, avoid repeating the same less effective patterns, function better- more empowered, do more for yourself, maximize your potential, experience increased satisfaction, success and joy and fulfill your dreams.

I encourage you to call, get a better sense of who I am, of my professional style and most important to begin your road of becoming more fulfilled and happier.
