Overview
Helping people feel better and achieve what they want requires the ability to foster an environment where it feels safe to talk about what's troubling you. The therapist should listen and understand in a non-judgmental, empathic, yet perceptive and insightful way. Change is hard. It's normal to be stuck in patterns that no longer serve you well, and not know how to change them. It's normal to be anxious and depressed in a difficult world where the future is uncertain. It's also normal to have conflicting feelings about people, love, work, or life. My training (12 yrs.) is psychodynamic (meaning insight-oriented), and my approach is flexible and interactive. In therapy we try to understand how you came to be the person you are today, what parts of you no longer fit your image of who you want to be, what you might like to cultivate instead, and how to get there. There is no magic wand, but people committed to the process can usually make significant strides in reasonable periods of time.

Accepted Insurance Plans:
As insurance companies can sometimes be intrusive (asking for confidential notes)and often demanding (requiring justification for continued coverage) I am not in-network with any insurance plan. But I will give you a monthly statement for you to submit for out-of-network benefits you are eligible for under your plan.

Education:
In addition to a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Liberal Arts, I have twelve years of analytic training, graduating from two Institutes: NPAP (National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis) - a rigorous 7-year program in both psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which encompasses both classical psychoanalytic and newer schools of thought. WSI (Washington Square Institute for Psychotherapy and Mental Health) - a 5-year program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
