Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be empathically recognized and understood for there to be realistic change. My job is to create a safe place where individuals and couples explore their current or long standing problems in order to find realistic solutions. A significant part of this involves carefully and mutually developing an appreciation of people's actual qualities and circumstances. I work with people in crisis or who sense they have patterns of living that could benefit from a clear understanding and want an expert and experienced partner to help facilitate their desired change. I've maintained a psychotherapy, consultation, and supervision practice in Boston's Back Bay since 1985. I'm a Lecturer at Harvard Medical School, where I supervise psychotherapy trainees and provide a seminar on supervision. I serve on the Editorial Boards of "The American Journal of Psychotherapy" and "Professional Psychology: Research and Practice". I've been a professor at Wellesley College and The Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology and on the teaching faculties of The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis.
