Therapy is hard work.  It is perhaps the hardest work you will ever do, and perhaps the most important as well.  However, it is not only work.  It can also be quite a shared adventure for all those involved, including the therapist.  In group therapy, this sense of shared adventure can also include the other members of the group.    

My beliefs about therapy are based on two things: (1) the extensive scientific research on the effectiveness of psychotherapy and (2) my own many years as a therapist and as a client in psychotherapy.

In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am also a father, grandfather, stepfather, uncle, friend, writer, mystic, inventor, auto mechanic, lumberjack, psychologist, citizen of the world, theologian, engineer, electrician, plumber, scientist and adventure-seeker.  All of these identities have just emerged as I have lived my life as fully as I can.  The only one I can prove with credentials is a psychologist, for which I have a BA (Dartmouth), a PhD (Stanford), and a license (Maryland).  These credentials were acquired long after I already regarded myself as a psychologist.

The above tabs will allow you to learn more about who I am and the way I work.   You can read more about my personal and professional Background. Probably the most informative links are the ones that allow you to view some of my Writings in general as well as what I have written specifically About Psychotherapy in its various forms.

I am currently working exclusively online using a HIPPA-compliant version of Zoom. If you have questions or would like to make an appointment you can contact me by completing the form provided or by simply calling me at (410) 997-5060.
