Attachment-based Therapists in South Salem, NY

People who come to me are often in crisis. They need someone who can listen deeper than words to bring greater understanding, clarity, and perspective. Fear or depression block pathways toward effective change. I bring years of training and practice, personal sensitivity and deep intuition. My goal is to help you release your own potential, unblock energy, so that you have greater awareness and can actualize that new awareness. I've been trained in five different psychoanalytic approaches, depending in part on your situation and location. I offer psychoanalysis in NYS. Call 203-894-9489 for initial phone consultation.

My approach to couples therapy combines elements of many schools of thought as well, depending upon the needs of the couple.
