Focus of Practice & Interests
I am skilled at solution focused
therapy, but real change often takes courage and trust. Most
clients find I understand them quickly and that I'm interactive.
The majority of my clients want to be unstuck, move beyond the
anxiety, sadness, anger, communicate with their partners and be
happy. They want insight and to feel better. Relief, healing,
clarity, problem solving and finding one's authentic path are
some of the goals and the results of this work. I have
particular interest in the unconscious influences of one's
difficulties.
I've been helping clients since 1982. I had a traditional
Freudian psychoanalytic training on the east coast and for the
past 15 years have been studying and working as a Jungian
oriented therapist. I am always interested in dream work. My
work with individuals, families and couples is active and
involves sharing of my insights and impressions. I would call
myself a Depth Therapist and am very interested in the Science
of consciousness, spirituality and the work of Carl Jung. I have
particular expertise with couples and adolescents and I am also
a certified Gottman trainer for parents transitioning to
parenting. |
Background &
Experience

Before becoming
a private practitioner in 1990 I worked at Mt Sinai Hospital both

children, adolescents and adults and as a family therapy consultant,
Pacific Gateway Hospital as a case manager and Parry Center. |

Orientation & Approach
|
The essence of my work involves a
relationship that promotes insight, understanding, relief, a sense of
purpose and meaning, as well as renewed sense of direction. To that end
I provide an intuitive presence and structure that will act as a
container for your distress, confusion or frustration. Therapy is a
safe place to allow inward experiences to flow, to be seen and felt in a
manageable way. My work with people is active and involves sharing my
insight and impressions through a psychodynamic process. The goals of
therapy are self-directed within an overall goal of bringing clarity to
what has transpired, what is present and what lies ahead. When
necessary I take a problem solving and educational focus.
