Psychoanalyst who has treated hundreds of individuals who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse and/or sexual assault.  

Fear, shame and guilt are often an ongoing undercurrent for those who have experienced being violated. Stages of healing are necessary, in a safe and caring environment, for cultivating future healthy sexual experiences.  

I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again. I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change. In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client. I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.
