I am a licensed psychologist and Fellow of the Maryland Psychological Association with over thirty years of professional experience. My degrees are from Queens College (BA, 1965), Brooklyn College (MS and Advanced Certificate, 1967) and the University of Colorado (Ph.D., 1971).

My internship experiences were at the Hunter College Educational Clinic and the Bureau of Child Guidance in New York City. I was a Graduate Faculty Member at the University of Maryland and a Faculty Associate at Johns Hopkins University.

Currently, I serve as a consultant to the Treatment and Learning Centers. I have given hundreds of lectures and workshops at the national, state and local levels, have conducted research, written for many professional journals and have served on the editorial board of the Consulting Psychology Journal. I have also testified as an expert witness on youth suicide prevention for the U.S. House of Representatives.

As a clinician and clinical supervisor, I have been privileged to work with thousands of youngsters and parents. Clients have described my style as practical, warm and supportive. I am married with two grown children. You can find my vita under documents.

MY METHODS

I help clients focus on their goals and teach them ways to use their strengths, talents and interests to that end. During sessions, I engage clients in conversation, giving examples and suggesting reading materials.

I have an extensive lending library of resources. Most of the techniques I use involve cognitive (thinking) and/or behavioral (action) strategies. I will be glad to discuss these approaches with you. Change will require effort on your and/or your child's part.

Home visits, telephone contacts, written correspondence and e-mail counseling can also be arranged, if necessary.  My fee for service practice allows me to be very flexible in scheduling and prompt in responding to your phone calls and email.

Although there is no guarantee that the therapy goals will be met, I will apply my resources in good faith to help you and/or your child reach them.
