Personal Statement
I work with people who are dissatisfied with their lives, as well as with people who are struggling with problems in their relationships, thinking or emotions. I approach our work together as a joint project. My practice varies with the person, but always involves careful listening, trying to understand each person's unique story. Through listening and our conversation, I try to help you see yourself and your life more clearly and perhaps differently than ever before, so that you may experience greater freedom in what you choose for yourself. I will work with you to achieve one or more of the following: greater satisfaction in relationships and work, a sense of mastery over your emotions or symptoms, deeper self-understanding and comfort with who you are. My training as a psychoanalyst is the most extensive psychotherapy training available.I help couples strengthen relationships through better listening, talking to and understanding each other.
I am an MD psychiatrist, so I can prescribe medication if, after careful assessment, we agree that it may help.
I am experienced in working with creative people, artists, students, parents, and people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
