Do you feel discontent with how your life is turning out? Are you troubled by recurrent feelings and behaviors? Are you frustrated by repetitive, nonproductive conflicts? Talking is still the best medicine. It can help you learn about how and why you get stuck and explore satisfying, constructive alternatives. Everyone makes mistakes and acts unskillfully-the question is how you react when this happens. I am committed to understanding your unique experience so you can become become freer, happier and more loving. Since change is inevitable, my hope is that you cultivate the flexibility and creativity needed to meet new situations.
Having done therapy for over thirty years, I feel honored to help people change their lives for the better. I provide psychodynamic therapy, couples therapy, twelve-step informed treatment, consultation, and therapist supervision. Further, I offer psychoanalysis for those seeking an intensive, self-exploration experience.
I am a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and seasoned marriage therapist. On the faculty of the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, I serve as a research and training analyst. My interests include effective therapeutic methods, intimacy, women's issues, resiliency, neuroscience, and strategic communication.
