| Practice Description: |
I am a dedicated, perceptive and highly competent clinician with 33 years postgraduate experience. Certified in Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, I also hold state, national and international certifications in addictions treatment and have taught as well as supervised in the areas of addiction/recovery, HIV/AIDS and personality disorders. I have worked intensively and extensively with those struggling with (and/or recovering from) all forms of addictive disorders: alcohol/other drugs, sexual compulsivity, eating disorders, gambling. In addition, I am strongly experienced in -- and sensitive to -- issues of grief, trauma, identity, illness as well as interpersonal, attachment and sexual difficulties.
I treat an adult clientele of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds and all sexual and gender identifications. I believe that each person's therapeutic journey is unique; my commitment is to fostering a safe and supportive connection between us where all thoughts, feelings, issues and dysfunctional patterns may be honestly, creatively and compassionately explored.
I work empathically and interactively with you to provide a Relational analytic experience which will effect profound growth and change in your relationships with yourself and with others. I respect the courage it takes to reveal and reflect on oneself in therapy and offer compassion, structure, humor and balance.
Please feel free to call me at (718) 748-7484 with any questions or to arrange an initial consultation. My office is centrally located in midtown Manhattan, directly accessible to all transportation.
