Relationship Therapy for Couples, Individuals, and Adult Family Members

It’s not always easy to figure out the best path.
I’ll help you find what works for you.

I have been in practice for over 25 years.

I am certified with Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy approach to couple's therapy and continue to deepen these skills on a daily basis. Through our work, we’ll establish a partnership and I’ll offer suggestions of alternative behaviors for you to try between sessions. Our goal is awareness of the experience of either trying the new behavior or considering it and rejecting it.

 

I love my work.

In addition to my ongoing work with Relational Life Institute, I completed a 4-year certificate program at the National Institute in Psychotherapies where I learned many different theoretical and practical approaches. I trained and practiced in NYC, adding my Hudson Valley practice in 2005. I integrate past experience and trainings with substance abuse and find combining therapy with 12 step programs to be very effective. Motivational Interviewing informs all aspects of my practice.

My areas of specialty are couples therapy, working with men, and working with people in recovery programs.

I accept Aetna insurance and straight Medicare.

 

“...changing one's own behavior is a much more promising strategy than insisting on change from the other.”

Men’s Group

This is a group for men who want to increase their sense of connection to themselves and other men. Traditionally men are raised to view each other as competitors and potential sources of humiliation. I love helping men learn to trust themselves and each other, allowing for increased support and understanding and decreased isolation.

Each week we will learn skills based on Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy and apply them in the discussions.

We meet for 1 ½ hours every Tuesday over Zoom from 6:30-8 PM. The fee is $60 per week paid ahead for each 3-month quarter.

I’m offering online therapy over Zoom and home office sessions in the New Paltz, NY area.
