For over 25 years I have helped people from many different backgrounds find
solutions to a wide range of problems. I have learned that people get the most
help from a therapist who listens carefully to what their struggles are, and who
works collaboratively to develop a fresh approach. I don’t expect that there is
one answer that will fit or suit everyone. Often the answers lie in being able
to find a reasonable means of regulating and balancing conflicting expectations
and needs.
I work with individuals (adults and adolescents) and couples, using an eclectic
approach which includes psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I
commonly work with issues relating to anxiety, depression, relationship
difficulties, loss, and work/careers. More specific matters about lifestyles and
transitions in life include: working on intimate relationships, marriage,
starting or blending families, divorce, mid-life crises, health issues,
addictions, concerns of individuals in creative fields and non-traditional
careers, and concerns of people who identify as LGBTQ.
I feel that being a good therapist requires a blend of science and art, and I
regularly attend seminars and continue to study the human condition. In
addition, I teach and supervise professionals in the mental health field, and I
am a faculty member and Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson
White Institute.
My philosophy is based on the idea that everyone encounters difficulties and
setbacks in life. As a compassionate and well trained professional I can help
you find solutions to problems, even though those problems may be embedded in
very old patterns. Even as life becomes increasingly complex, I can help you
find balance, satisfaction, and resolution in your life.
