Emotional pain can feel awkward and difficult to express. I know how hard it can be to make that first move and turn to someone for help with anxiety, depression, panic,trauma, self-loathing, or concerns about relationships with important people in your life. I use an insight-oriented approach to help my patients make meaning of their feelings and current behavior in light of both their chorus of internal voices and their actual psychological histories.When a patient becomes aware of 'the past operating in the present', a space begins to open up in their minds for making different choices.
My work is informed by many years of training and experience as an adult and child clinical psychologist, and as an internationally certified psychoanalyst. I try to engage in this difficult work guided by integrity, discipline and compassion.
I teach psychoanalysis at Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and at the Center for Object Relations. In my clinical work,I try to partner with each patient to increase their self-knowledge and awareness and decrease their psychic pain. As we work toward these goals, patients' creativity and aliveness tend, over time, to blossom and prevail.
