I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eighteen years of experience working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions, trauma, and loss. I am psychoanalytically trained, and also use cognitive/behavioral approaches where appropriate.
In addition to my clinical work and training, I have 20 years of social work experience working with men, women, and children in the foster care, criminal justice, and domestic violence shelter systems. I have developed shelters and services for abused women and children, and have facilitated groups for men who abuse their partners.
