| Practice Description: |
I have spent many years studying and practicing psychotherapy and continue to do so. I focus a good deal on problematic feelings and experiences both in the here and now, how they will show up in our relationship, as well as how they originated in your earlier life. When I work with someone, the goal is for genuine change.
The problems you might be facing may have to do with love and loss, difficulty with friendships and/or work relations, career decisions, trauma or abuse, physical illness or disabilities. Or you might be feeling disturbed by depression, loneliness, anxiety or fear, shame, emptiness, shyness, or any other feelings.
I will be concerned with how the most important parts of your life are working for you. I am interested in helping individuals find a more gratifying career path, or help to negotiate difficulties at work, and/or find relationships that are satisfying. Having meaningful work and loving friends and partners are, in my mind, the bedrock of a contented life. How you handle your feelings and experiences will in large measure influence how well your life is seeming to you.
But more importantly, if you have lived through hardships such as being abused and or have been neglected as children, or were exposed to domestic violence or substance abuse in the home, you will likely find it easy to open up to me. These problems are typical for many of the people I work with.
My interest in feelings has also led me to focus on the relationship between emotion and physical problems, such as chronic illness, pain, or disability. Often I find psychotherapy will help.
This is a brief explanation of what I do as a psychotherapist, but I feel it would be better if we could talk for a while one-on-one to feel how we get along, or to see if I am the best person to address your problems.
I have helped many people live more satisfying lives, gain serenity or passion ( as the case may be), as well asa encourage health and a sense of well-being. My many years of practice as well as the wide range of settings in which I have been trained have allowed me to help people truly cope with their life's difficulties.
I would welcome hearing from you.
I also supervise or consult with clinicians either requiring hours for their license, or those wishing to consult with me to widen their repertoire of skills. I have received advanced training in the Supervision Study Program of The Psychotherapy Institute.
I spent many years in training for this work in a wide variety of settings including: community mental health both inpatient and outpatient, New York University Medical Center where I worked in rehab as well as an inpatient chronic pain program with
Dr. John Sarno, the clinic of the California School of Professional Psychology for the general population, and then one year training in Domestic Violence, five years with the staff of the Masterson Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from which I graduated,
and one year with The International Institute of Object Relations Therapy. I have also taught, ran case conference, and supervised
MFT and Psychology trainees.
