About Therapy
Something has GOT to give.
You’ve worked hard to get where you are.
But something is missing, and you’re definitely not happy.
The pace you need to keep is frightening, and there seems to be no relief in sight.
You don’t know why you can’t keep up, but you just CAN’T; perhaps you do know why yet feel unable to resolve the situation.
You’ve probably thought about therapy before.
Maybe you’ve even tried it and wonder why this time will be different…
… because nobody ever really GETS you.
Now, you’re either exhausted, have no faith you’ll find the right person to work with, or doubt you’ll ever find peace again.
Openness, sharing, and trust…
That’s all you need for a successful relationship in therapy – like any other relationship.
It’s not as difficult as it sounds and gets easier and more familiar the more you do it.
Really, though, nothing is easy. And some chapters of your life may be harder to navigate than you ever imagined.
You need an expert – a professional – someone who has done this thousands of times to help you figure it out.
I hold this space, especially for you.
There are no cookie-cutter solutions to your unique issues. We’ll find the approach that works for you and your situation without losing sight of you as a person.
When we work together, I’ll meet you where YOU are emotionally. I will listen to your stories without judgment (and share relevant ones of my own), help you prioritize your needs, and offer insights into how your issues might be connected.
As we resolve your issues and reassemble your life as it should be, you’ll transform into a version of yourself you’ve always wished for – confident, together, and strong.
You’ll feel different and carry yourself differently, and others will take notice!
Be the person you deserve to be!
It’s never too late to reimagine, reinvent, and rediscover your life. I’m the straight shooter who can help you do it.
There will be twists and turns, but we’ll figure it out together.
It’s time to get the support you always give to everyone else!
You’ve come to the right place. Let’s talk more during your free consultation: (516) 313-6338.
About Me
I don’t just understand it… I get it.
I’ve been there.
I’ve lived many lives: married, divorced, re-married, and children.
I have stood at the crossroads and braced myself for the impact of all my fears rushing toward me… before realizing I had more choices than I knew.
I know what’s possible when we go toward what we want…
… rather than running from what frightens us.
I reinvented myself in my 40’s. I re-married at 45 and had my first child at 47. I decided at that age to finally pursue my lifelong dream of being a therapist. I went back to grad school two months before my son was born at the ripe old age of 47. I was in a class of 22-year-olds. That was an experience.
But it’s NEVER too late to change your path. I did it, and I can help you do it as well.
I believe there’s no shame in past choices…
… just lessons learned (often about what NOT to do again). I’ve made many mistakes in my life. In this chapter, I try hard to keep future regrets to a minimum. That means being the best dad, husband/partner, friend, and therapist I can be.
I also want to ensure that I give myself some fun and go toward my own passions and ideal life while balancing everything else.
Life is a dance – even if it’s just our dance when no one is watching. Life is rarely perfect, but I try to make it more perfect over time.
