When you decide to put your health in my hands, I will strive to help you take charge of your life. I will help you to gain self-awareness and make changes. This will improve your relationship with yourself and with your world. I use uncomplicated logic and rely on common sense. I will work with you and your other healthcare providers to put our minds together and find the best possible outcome for your situation. I am compassionate and non-directive in my approach, and would rather help you see options, but let you decide if you want to take them. It brings me tremendous personal satisfaction when I see that your situation has truly improved and you are genuinely better not just feeling better. Tough work brings lasting results...

Albany, NY 12205

I am a Board Certified psychiatrist who is gentle, empathic, and supportive. I offer psychotherapy, holistic options, and conventional medications at the lowest effective dose to help make things right again - the healthiest way possible. The type of psychotherapy I offer is called Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy. I was trained and certified by The Focusing Institute www.focusing.org. As I listen with empathy, checking back frequently with the person, to make sure I “got” what they are expressing and feeling, I help him or her to tap into the wisdom of a felt sense of the triggering situation. Learning to trust these “gut feelings” validated by non-judgmental empathic listening, people discover what they are really feeling and what they really need – and thereby find their next good steps.
