After 30+ years working in hospitals, health systems, and advocacy gigs at places like Kaiser Permanente, Mount Sinai, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and the Joint Commission, I’m super excited to finally start my own private therapy practice. My entire career has been about helping people thrive—whether it was finding and nurturing talent or supporting folks and their families during some of their toughest moments.

I grew up on the east side of Chicago in Rogers Park, a neighborhood full of culture and character that influenced so much of who I am. Martin Luther King described Rogers Park as the most diverse community in the United States.  My dad was a Holocaust survivor, and he would often share these incredible, impactful stories about his time in the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz. Being the child of a survivor taught me a lot about empathy and resilience, traits that I bring into my work with clients every day.

Life has definitely kept me on my toes. I've lived abroad in Israel and the UK, and across the U.S. I’ve called Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Milwaukee, Florida, and now New Mexico home. I love traveling, meeting new people, and soaking up different cultures. I’ve been married to my awesome British wife for over 40 years, and we’re proud parents to an 11-year-old Yorkie named Kugel. When I’m not working, there’s a good chance I’m either exploring Europe, hiking, losing myself in a great book, or fanboying over art. Honestly, I’m a big believer in positivity, confidence, and persistence—so whatever you’re going through, don’t ever give up on yourself. You’ve got this.

My Practice

In a crowded field of virtual therapists, standing out goes beyond possessing credentials—it requires authenticity, clarity, and an unwavering dedication to helping clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I focus on supporting individuals through significant personal and professional transitions, whether it’s crafting a powerful resume, creating a life plan, or navigating the complexities of trauma. My approach is collaborative and action-driven: we confront challenges hand-in-hand, work through them, and pave the way for meaningful growth and healing.

My practice is designed to address a range of challenges. I offer compassionate support for those processing trauma or racial stress—whether triggered by current events, past experiences, or antisemitism. For individuals navigating major life changes, such as relocating to a new state or country (what I call “expat therapy”), or grappling with career setbacks like age-based discrimination, I provide tailored guidance. Additionally, I help those struggling with dependencies on social media, news, or pornography regain balance in their lives. My approach is both intuitive and structured, offering personalized homework assignments, curated recommendations for books, films, and articles, as well as practical tools like journals, food logs, and budgeting templates to empower your journey.

Let’s take the first step—together.

My Approach to Therapy

 There is no replacement for a person-centered approach that is a combination of practicality, wisdom and life experience. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches during sessions to meet the unique needs of each client. Below are five common therapy styles I use, tailored to support individual goals and challenges.
