Having lived and worked in several countries, I believe in focusing on each client’s personal, cultural, and environmental background and try to gain an understanding of the presenting issues from this perspective. I have been privileged to work with the Princeton University community for 20 years. Prior to going into full time private practice, I ran programs for inner city youth and trained clinicians in the treatment of trauma at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. And in my life before that, I studied the history of medicine and the treatment of the mentally ill, a subject area that remains a strong interest. My therapeutic approach is relational, active, and collaborative. While I’m trained in several methods and frames – psychodynamic psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and EMDR – I aim to offer treatment that best suits the needs and style of the client.
