I am an ordained minister with a Master of Divinity degree from Southern Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY. Registered in New York since 1981, I have officiated at hundreds of weddings in every kind of venue from a small Manhattan chapel to a large Hudson yacht, from atop the Empire State Building to a Westchester restaurant to a small family home. And I have done so to the great satisfaction of the couples, their family and friends.

I have also served a Westchester Unitarian
Universalist congregation as their minister for the last 15 years and am a published author, lecturer and counselor. I also have a Masters degree in psychology, and I am a certified marriage and family therapist, a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family therapists, and have received additional training from various schools of relationship counseling. I have a private psychotherapy and relationship counseling practice in Manhattan. While I specialize in marital counseling I also offer pre-marital educational counseling where I help couples define their goals, appreciate their strengths and differences and offer helpful instruction on communication skills and conflict resolution. I do not require couples who invite me to officiate their weddings to participate in the pre-marital counseling, but I am happy to talk about it with those who are interested and perhaps then administer the program.
