Is anxiety, depression or stress interfering with your joy and happiness in life?
Do you repeat negative patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviors?
Or have you had a therapist only sit silently and passively as you talk about your problems, offering little feedback to help you reach your goals? That won't happen with me. I will provide you with direct and helpful feedback in order to help you make constructive changes in your life.

My Approach to Therapy in Buffalo, NY.
Some clients have told me that when they tried psychotherapy in the past they felt they received little in return. That’s because many therapists sit quietly in the background and do not offer constructive feedback. I approach things differently and over my 25 years of experience working as a psychologist in Buffalo, I have always been straightforward, interactive, and proactive with clients.
Of course, like all therapists, I strive to create a setting in which you feel comfortable and free to express yourself. However, unlike many therapists, I am not afraid or reluctant to give you the direct feedback you need to hear. And, unlike many therapists, I also sometimes use humor in my work. I see no contradiction between being playful while remaining a serious and focused healer. You can read more about my treatment areas for Individuals, Couples and Teenagers.
