Introduction

I have been teaching and practicing meditative and body-centered health practices since 1971. I started the 3rd yoga studio in New England in 1979 with a focus on non-cultish meditative yoga programs and psychotherapy. I have studied with the many of the most famous yoga masters. I was one of the first to be certified to practice and to teach Hakomi Therapy having trained under Ron Kurtz. I have presented my work in conferences and abroad. I continue to work with clients privately in-person or online as a licensed psychologist. As I am gradually moving towards full retirement, beginning 2026, I will no longer accept health insurances or do billing for health insurances. I can provide whatever paperwork you may need if your health insurance policy allows you to see a non-panel and licensed psychologist. You can meet in-person or online. Out of pocket fee as of 2026 will be $200/hour with 90 minute sessions also available.
