Are you experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, self-loathing, or problems regarding a relationship or change in your life? In our work together, we will consider what is happening for you, and develop effective mechanisms for your overcoming these problems.
I listen to my clients empathetically, and promote relationships rich in insight, fulfillment and depth.
My subspecialties include:
- Relationship difficulties
- Feelings of shame and isolation
- Cultural identity and self-identity issues
- Recovering from the aftermath of violent crime
- Coping with serious illness or aging in oneself or loved ones
In addition to finding relief from the issues that bring them to therapy, my clients often say they enjoy our work — That they come to understand and like themselves more fully, and lead more meaningful lives.
Additionally, I supervise and teach at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP) in Manhattan. I have had several pieces published recently in the journal Psychoanalytic Perspectives, and enjoy particularly fusing scholarly work with creativity.
On a more personal note, I have traveled extensively throughout the world. Engaging with the people and animals I have met, and learning about the environments, politics, history and geography affecting them, has deepened my capacities as a psychoanalyst and my commitment to quality of life and human decency.
