History

Established in 1979.

My private practice began shortly after relocating from New York City to San Francisco. It began modestly and grew over time to become the thriving private practice that it is today. I am indebted to my clients, who have referred their family members, friends, and co-​workers. I am also indebted to my colleagues, who have referred many of their clients that they were not able to see in their private practices. I also accept health insurance, as I am on numerous health insurance and EAP preferred provider networks. This helps to keep the overall costs of counseling and therapy very affordable.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you to help you resolve the concerns and challenges that you are facing. This is accomplished in a warm, supportive, and interactive environment, which helps to promote and attain the changes in your life that you want to achieve.
