My approach is collaborative, relational, nonjudgmental, and inquiring. Using state-of-the-art theoretical models, I help you define and construct a path toward the life you want. I am permitted to work with patients from these states "live" or "virtually" via telepsychology. Certified by PSYPACT Commission PSYPACT: APIT E-PASSPORT #5230.
We set up an initial 90-minute appointment, where I get a sense of the extent to which I think I can help you help yourself (and you get a feel for whether or not you want to work with me). Recent studies have found Telehealth therapy programs to be an effective alternative to in-person treatment. As a way to reach beyond Atlanta, I offer my services using this technology.

Services
I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst licensed to practice in the District of Columbia, Georgia, New Mexico, New York, and Tennessee. I offer services addressing the needs of adults through psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and psychological assessment.
People who may seem successful to others at mid-life, but nevertheless know that they want to change course in their careers and relationships, perhaps because things just do not seem right or feel on track.I think of us as co-journeyers exploring and navigating through the past, present, and anticipated future of your life.

Since the beginning of my career as a psychologist, I have been strongly organized by and oriented to principles of humanistic psychology (Rogers, 1957, 1959, 1961/1995), which indicate personal and interpersonal change proceeds to the extent that patients experience an unconditionally warm, empathic, and genuine relationship in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis - regardless of the therapist's formal approach.
Much of my conceptual outlook originates from Personal Construct Theory, otherwise known as Personal Construct Psychology. Developed by George Kelly, and quite popular in the United Kingdom and across the world, I am one of a relatively small number of practitioners in the United States who draw inspiration from his core concepts and assessment methods.
Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis proposed that our own unique mix of biologically determined sexual and aggressive impulses drove behavior and mental processes. Using defense mechanisms in a flexible manner to ward off the ubiquitous and dangerous (if left unchecked) impulses.
Initially trained in the Freudian (classical) tradition, renowned psychoanalyst Joseph Lichtenberg came to be strongly influenced by Heinz Kohut's Self Psychology, especially it's more positive outlook about humanity rather than Freud's more pessimistic (if not fatalistic) bias - that we are all one step away from quivering protoplasm, should we not have the capacity to get our impulses met appropriately.

Throughout the course of my career, many potential patients seem confused about what differentiates clinical psychologists from psychiatrists. In brief, here are some of the important distinctions. Look-up the term "psychology" in a textbook and usually you will find "the study of behavior and mental processes."
