I AM HERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR CURRENT SITUATION.

What I Do

I work mostly with adults and couples. I see some teenagers and children often with social-developmental problems that require a psychological assessment, for shyness and social anxiety or when part of my overall treatment of a family system. I also refer. This means you can call me and I will refer you to the appropriate doctor specializing in your problem. I will help you navigate the mental health system.

My treatment methods vary according to your needs. I mostly use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and other proven methods. We sit and talk and discuss your needs. Then we discuss how to proceed and what you want to happen. I am the author of five books used by other mental health professionals.

My professional fee (see Office Policy) for 60 minutes is based on experience, teaching, authorships, years in practice, awards and honorariums. Professional fees widely vary within the same profession (e.g., in law and health care).
