I'm a Clinical Psychologist who's been in private practice for over15 years. My basic training is psychodynamic in nature, though I've worked extensively as a Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT), and it's informed my practice of therapy enormously. Originally developed to treat patients with 'Borderline Personality Disorder,' DBT is also immensely helpful to those suffering a wide range of emotional disturbances, including depression, anxiety, anger management problems, eating disorders, difficulties with close relationships, and difficulties in the work place. It's a treatment where the therapist is interactive and "real", and the treatment process is de-mystified.
My working style is an integration of both of DBT, and my psychodynamic foundations. Classified as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT has a didactic component where patients are essentially taught important life skills (core mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation). Many find this aspect of DBT extraordinarily helpful.
I integrate the helpful techniques from DBT into my primarily psychodynamic practice. A session is a collaborative process. I am not silent and distant, but actively involved. My style is warm and direct. Patients often say early on that they feel very comfortable with me, and well understood.
