Are you stuck? Are you unable to find other possibilities, other solutions to your problems? Do you want to change and just don't know how?
My therapeutic approach integrates a Systems perspective with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) theory and practice. As a Systems-oriented therapist, I examine the "big picture" to understand the presenting problem, its timing, and the influence of other people and circumstances. By broadening the "lens" on the issue, we can uncover new possibilities, facilitating change and improving your overall well-being, relationships, and self-perception.
In addition to this, I incorporate ACT, a form of therapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT focuses on committing to actions that align with one’s values, helping to increase psychological flexibility and mindfulness. This approach can be particularly effective in guiding clients through difficult times and helping them feel less "stuck."
I provide practical tools to help navigate these issues analytically and specifically. Depending on your needs, our work together can be short-term and problem-focused or more extended, helping you make decisions, improve your life quality, and learn new coping strategies.

My Experience As A Therapist:
For many years, I worked in out-patient clinics, both in hospital settings and in out- patient psychiatric clinics. I also worked for several years in drug and alcohol rehabilitation settings. I began my private practice in 1982, after completing my post graduate training at Ackerman Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy in New York City.
