I find extraordinary fulfillment in this work. I offer a collaborative therapy to individuals and couples who are open to listening to their own signals from within. My experience and training convinces me that when we open ourselves to this process, we can become happier people, with a deeper commitment to meet life’s challenges and favorable moments with courage and curiosity.

In addition to my work in psychotherapy, I have written/produced/ directed documentaries for television. Yet the film work I love the most is for a different audience: prison inmates, parolees and their families, and people recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. These films are used by public and private treatment centers, and by virtually every state and federal prison in the U.S.
