"Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For eighteen years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center."

"We generally begin psychotherapy in order to reduce suffering in our lives. As a Jungian analyst, my approach seeks to reduce suffering and promote healing by endeavoring to understand what the meaning of our symptoms are and how, through our symptoms and difficulties, we can be led to experience more satisfaction, creativity and joy in our lives. This approach not only asks "how can I meet life's demands?" but "how can I live a life that fully expresses who I am?" It asks, "Who am I at the deepest level?""

"You've come a long way, baby. You're doing it. You're killing it at work or at school. You always have. But somehow, those old ways of thinking and feeling about yourself have followed. At work, and with your friends, it looks like you have it all together. If anything, you're the first to lend a hand to others, even when you are completely running on empty. But something is missing, and its gnawing at you. You don't know what you want or need most of the time. We can figure that out together."
