"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) Are you feeling stuck? Are your fears stopping you from forging meaningful relationships and creating a gratifying work life? I have been a private psychotherapist for more than 25 years, guiding people through obstacles to a richer, fuller life. Some of my areas of expertise are relationship issues, depression, grief and loss, anxiety and acute and chronic illness.

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, VIA TELETHERAPY, DURING THE CRISIS. These are challenging times. The loneliness of social isolation, the disruption to normal routines, widespread illness, job and financial insecurity, and the strain on intimate relationships all take an emotional toll. It can be hard to bear, and even harder to sort out. Now more than ever, people find that talking to a trained professional helps. The Consultation and Referral Service of the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies is offering affordable teletherapy during the crisis.

Are you struggling with infertility? Perhaps you and your partner are contemplating or beginning fertility intervention as a means of having a child. During this time, you are likely navigating a range of distressing emotions, facing critical treatment decisions and feeling isolated in the process. I provide emotional support, guidance and counseling to women and couples in different stages of their family building process. In our work together, I support you to tap into your intrinsic resources: emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual, so as to overcome infertility, heal from pregnancy loss and stabilize postpartum challenges.
