With 45 years of clinical practice experience, I can help you gain insight into yourself, your feelings, your symptoms and behaviors. I have expertise in helping people who suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear, trauma, grief, relationship problems, and work issues. I can help you to change that which you choose to change. I am warm, empathic, and understanding. Although it is difficult to take that first step, it is eventually rewarding to have the freedom that comes from understanding yourself better and making choices that benefit your life. I mainly use an insight oriented psychodynamic approach.
The therapeutic relationship that you and I establish is built over time and allows you to feel progressively more comfortable in exploring, with me, your conflicts and needs. I individualize my approach with each patient and have had success in working this way with many people of all ages. I am certified in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (see below)....
from NYPSI. I am also a CASAC but have retired that license after many years. I offer virtual sessions at present. Excellent references available.
