With 35 years of experience as a psychotherapist, and as a certified psychoanalyst since 1991, I have helped people successfully work through obstacles to feeling better and leading more gratifying lives. My approach to therapy emphasizes insight, self-awareness and empowerment. It is a collaboration, a working together to understand the meaning of symptoms, to find new options for solving problems, to gain perspective on yourself and to put other peoples' behavior into perspective. The goal is to feel better, to develop healthier relationships, to cope successfully with painful life events. I am experienced working with those who suffer from eating disorders, and with all whose lives are difficult or painful in other ways - who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, guilt or self-doubts. I also do considerable work helping couples address issues that are obstacles to a healthy relationship. I offer a safe place for people to explore their very personal concerns.
