There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy or analysis, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning. My analytic training enables me to work intensively, and I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques like journaling, psychodrama, and art. I have special expertise and interest in treating the effects of trauma, including bullying, incest, and dissociation, and in the treatment of eating disorders and obesity. Over the years, I have effectively addressed a wide variety of problems, including depression, anxiety, addictions, cross-cultural issues, grief, and chronic illness. My training as a contemporary psychoanalyst, combined with my training as a clinical psychologist and psychodramatist, gives me quite a bit of flexibility. I offer psychoanalysis at a reduced fee, if necessary, to make it possible to meet more frequently. I also offer clinical supervision, often using experiential techniques.
