I have been in practice providing individual and couple therapy for over 44 years. My areas of expertise include marriage and relationship counseling, divorce and blended families, and work with individuals who have issues related to depression and anxiety, family of origin, chemical dependency and co-dependency. My clientele includes both heterosexual and gay and lesbian individuals and couples. In addition, I work with clients for whom religion or spirituality are important dimensions of their lives, both as a source of strength and as a source of challenge or conflict. I address issues related to ethnicity and culture with all of my clients, if it is important to them. My experience of 13 years doing individual, family and group psychotherapy at Minneapolis Jewish Family and Children's Service gives me particular familiarity and expertise with this population. My book, "A User's Guide to Therapy: What to Expect and How You Can Benefit," published in 2009 by W.W. Norton Professional Books, will help you understand the process of therapy what you can do to make the most of the experience.
