As a licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed mental health counselor (State of New York), and board certified clinical sexologist, I work with individuals as well as couples dealing with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, communication, and sexual and gender identity issues, to name a few. In therapy, I use a style influenced by Albert Ellis called Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. In my work with couples, I use this style combined with Imago Therapy, developed by Harville Hendrix.
I also work with the public and media, and have done segments for VH1, HBO and SpikeTV. I have been quoted in Details and Esquire magazines, wrote a regularly featured column called "Head Case" in the newspaper Camp, and frequently speak on issues related to psychology and human sexuality at local schools, churches, community groups, and organizations. I also write a blog.
In 2009 I was elected president of the New York Mental Health Counselor's Association Metro Chapter as well as Member at Large of the New York Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. This year I am working towards opening a non-profit group to offer support for newly licensed mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists in New York in return for their volunteering to offer free services to the public.
