I believe that we all engage in repetitive behaviors in our approaches to relationships, our work, and ourselves. These ways of being and coping made sense at earlier points in our lives, but hold us back from feeling authentic in the present. The process of therapy can create long-term shifts through building understanding of ourselves and by allowing for greater freedom in self-expression. I view therapy as transformative because of the safe space it provides for a new relational experience, one in which patients can experiment with new thoughts, feelings, and words in the presence of a receptive professional.
My approach is informed by my training in long and short-term psychodynamic therapy at the Derner School for Psychology at Adelphi University, where I earned by Ph.D. in clinical psychology. I have also trained at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and the William Alanson White Institute. I earned my M.F.A. in Creative Writing from NYU.
I have a special interest in couples therapy and have helped many couples negotiate the terms and expectations for their relationship. This work involves each partner in the couple gaining access to how their early experiences, the vicissitudes of attachment and trauma, as well as cultural forces, shape their relationship to one another.
