Originally from Eastchester, New York, I attended college at Wesleyan University where i majored in political science and minored in Romance languages.
Graduating magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, I was accepted to Harvard Business School, where I concentrated in marketing. I graduated with distinction in 1971, and thereafter began working at one of New York's largest advertising agencies, Benton & Bowles, as an account executive.
I rose quickly in the organization being named a vice-president in 1975. In the subsequent 15 years I also worked with several other firms as a senior executive, including Wells Rich Greene as EVP & Chiat/Day as Director of Account Management. Among the clients I worked for were: Procter & Gamble, Sony, Coca-Cola, Bayer, Mitsubishi, Fisher-Price, and Energizer (The bunny was developed under my tenure as the lead account manager).
In my early 40s I embarked on a process of inner work and exploration that led me to move from New York to Los Angeles and to discover the path of my current career. I enrolled in Antioch University in 1994, earning a Master's degree in clinical psychology. I also accumulated 3,000 hours of internship training and was licensed as a psychotherapist (Marriage and Family Therapist).
In late 2005 I moved from Los Angeles to Washington and became licensed by the District of Columbia. In the time I have been here I have been fortunate enough to build a thriving practice working with a very diverse, motivated, and intelligent group of clients.
