Credentials
I have been licensed and registered as a clinical psychologist in New York State since 2002 (NY015074). I have also been registered with clinical scope in New Zealand from 2011. I have received specialized training in online therapy (e.g., through the International Society for Mental Health Online, American Telemedicine Institute). I graduated from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA, in 1995.
Generalizing about what works in therapy is difficult, given that each person’s requirements and situation are unique. However, research clearly indicates that the quality of client/therapist relationship is of most importance, whatever the therapist’s orientation. When therapy has worked for me, either as therapist or client, there has been something definite, significant and lasting occurring, under the protection of a trusting relationship.
Please Note: Currently I offer psychotherapy and assessment to New York State residents, though I offer consultation or coaching to people all over. I am happy to discuss therapy/coaching differences in more detail during an initial online session (free, if out-of-area). Also, I'm glad to have an introductory phone call if desired.
