I work best with motivated adults,couples and teens open to introspection who seek to understand the complexity of their problems. I prescribe medication as needed in conjunction with dynamic psychotherapy. I am certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (1969) and a graduate of the Downstate Psychoanalytic Institute certified in Psychoanalysis (1975). As regards fee arrangements, I work flexibly with those patients who have out of network coverage as part of their insurance plans.
