People often come to therapy with struggles that have them stymied. A person may have been in pain and grief for a long time. Sometimes, a person just feels stuck or off kilter; they feel that they’re not living their life in they way they’d like. In psychotherapy, we have a chance to make sense of what’s going on, and that can open up all kinds of new possibilities—new ways of dealing with difficulties, new ways of relating, new sense of self. A person can feel more themself, more real and more alive. I collaborate with clients to understand what may be hampering them internally. I’ve seen how that understanding can not only relieve distress but also make possible a richer and more meaningful life. I do psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with adults and late adolescents. My style is engaged, collaborative, supportive and inquiring. I’ve worked in university counseling, inpatient programs, and intensive outpatient programs. I’ve taught at the New School and Barnard College, and I’ve provided clinical supervision to post-doctoral psychologists and psychiatrists. If you think you might like to work with me, please don’t hesitate to call for a brief consultation.
