While I work with a very wide array of client concerns, the topics below provide an overview of the questions and challenges I most commonly help people navigate.
Dating and relationships can become confusing when attraction, compatibility, personal values, and long-term goals don’t seem to point in the same direction. Over recent years my work has focused somewhat more on helping clients to better understand the psychological processes shaping attraction so they can make thoughtful relationship decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
Compulsive sexual behaviors often involve much more than willpower alone. Therapy explores the emotional experiences, stressors, and longstanding patterns that may be driving porn use, compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction or confusing sexual urges, while helping you move toward lasting change in a psychologically grounded and non-judgmental way.
Questions about unwanted attraction patterns—whether involving the same-sex, opposite sex, or idiosyncratic stimuli and interactions—can be emotionally complex, particularly when they intersect with deeply held personal or religious values. I offer a psychologically grounded approach that helps individuals better understand attraction, identity, and the emotional processes that often underlie both.
Many Orthodox Jewish adults are looking for a therapist who understands Torah, halacha, shidduchim, family expectations, and observant life without requiring every detail to be explained. I provide psychotherapy that is both psychologically grounded and respectful of deeply held religious values.
Many people are surprised to discover that their most confusing dating experiences fall into one of four recognizable attraction patterns. Learning to recognize these patterns often brings remarkable clarity to relationships that previously felt confusing, repetitive, or emotionally overwhelming.
