Psychotherapy starts with a secure place to explore, discover, begin change. I work with a range of concerns—relationships, depression, anxiety, sexuality, creativity, parenting, and that core question: What do I really want?

I’ve been in practice 30 years and have extensive training in psychodynamic therapy & psychoanalytic theory. The work is collaborative, engaged, interactive.

My practice includes individuals and couples.

~ Cultural issues affect a person’s life as profoundly as other experiences: therapy needs to be attentive to all. My practice is diverse racially and I work with both LGBT and straight couples. 

~ A writer as well as a therapist, I’m interested in the creative process. Creative freedom tends to emerge with personal change.

~ I occasionally teach in graduate psychotherapy programs and have published two books on psychoanalytic theory with a cultural perspective.
