Specialties
I am a Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor. What sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to keep clients on a systematic approach to change.
I have put together a short term, goal oriented program to help clients achieve results quickly, even after 1-2 visits.
I serve couples, individuals and children helping them change destructive behaviors and achieve harmony in their relationships and daily lives.
With couples we work on speaking and listening skills, personality differences, harmful family of origin patterns, creating a relationship vision, handling conflict and other issues.
With individual clients we work on depression, relationship problems, trauma, childhood wounds and many other issues.
I also work with children doing child-directed play therapy and sand tray therapy.
I offer in person face-to-face sessions as well as sessions via Skype.

History
Established in 1980.
I have been serving couples, individuals and children worldwide for four decades.
I have a masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a masters degree in Cross Cultural Studies.
Starting out as a teenager, I have lived and worked for several decades as an expatriate in many countries (Russia, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Finland and former Czechoslovakia).
Many of my clients are globally mobile: diplomats, international students, missionaries, overseas English teachers, multinational executives, military, and UN officials.
I understand the demands placed on them while adjusting to a cross cultural setting not their own.
I have had private practices in Amsterdam, Moscow, Lausanne, Vienna, and Washington, DC.
Currently, I have a private practice in Princeton, NJ, with two office locations.

I conduct counseling that is solution focused, with specific end results in mind.
It is rewarding for me to help you see changes quickly and experience a happier situation right now, not months from now.
Our sessions together are structured: You are guided step-by-step with the aid of videos, personality tests, role plays, and other tools.
I give homework to speed up the change process so you experience results from the start.
Together we create a treatment plan incorporating the needs and goals you have for therapy.
By the time you leave you will have gained the skills to maintain these changes and grow on your own.
Do you feel misunderstood by your spouse? Are you both stuck in harmful patterns of interaction?
