I consider myself to be a seasoned and dynamic therapist, having worked with adolescents, families, couples and individuals, in an inpatient as well as an outpatient environment. I was privileged to have a London trained Master Psychoanalyst as my mentor for many years. I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me. I pursued clinical training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - a therapy that combines radical acceptance with behavior change strategies. I have designed and run DBT support groups for at-risk adolescents as well as adults. I have conducted in-home family therapy, focusing on identifying and understanding attachment patterns in family systems. I have conducted many hours of individual therapy, working to heal addictions, codependency, depression, anxiety, obsessive tendencies, relationship challenges, personality disorders and extremism. The center of my practice ethos is collaboration: between therapist and client, therapist and the client's medical providers, therapist and the client's significant other or family if appropriate. While there is a place for diagnoses, I embrace a non-pathologizing framework and encourage a humanistic approach. My work is strongly relational, honoring the powerful mechanics of attachment in the human psyche. I am always open for questions about my clinical approach and experience.
