I provide individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults as well as couple therapy. I also lead three psychoeducational groups (Men's Group; Relationship Group; and Parenting Group) and facilitate a dynamic psychotherapy process group. Romantic relationship difficulties (including narcissistic and codependent styles), life transition issues, chronic self-sabotaging patterns, low self-esteem, sexual compulsivity, adolescent development, and parent-teen conflict are my main areas of expertise.
Often one's personality, attitudes, and choices are unconsciously tailored to the perceived or actual demands of some significant other. There has been a gradual, insidious censorship of who one is and who one could be. The therapeutic space I attempt to establish frees the patient from these constraints.
My therapeutic approach is geared toward providing a comfortable, supportive space in which my observations and inquiries about the patient's experience help promote a greater degree of self-observation and self-acceptance.
