If you seek a therapist who just nods his or her head, and asks: "how do you feel about that?" then I am not the right choice for you. I am a "relational" psychoanalyst who listens closely to my patient's stories, and engages in active dialogue with them. Together we form a collaborative alliance to confront and overcome your fears and anxieties. I am firmly committed to a collaborative, participatory, and holistic patient/therapist relationship. As partners, we form a trusting bond to explore the problems that interfere with your ability to live a happy and healthy life. We create strategies to achieve greater self-awareness, understand and manage negative emotions and behaviors, and help you to deal with life's problems. If you have issues related to depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, bad relationships, separation or loneliness, we will forge a road for healing and happiness. I also specialize in helping patients in crisis, severe distress, disabling anxiety, and life-threatening situations. I've enjoyed a successful career: in business: college professor; author; and psychoanalyst. I received my doctorate from Columbia University, and my post doctorate in psychoanalysis from Blanton-Peale Institute.
