In private practice for over 21 years, I have treated a range of patients with specialties in working with adolescents, young adults, and LGBT people. While the majority of my experience has been individually oriented, I also do couple therapy with both gay/lesbian as well as heterosexual men and women.
While acquiring deeper insight into what makes you tick and how your past life affects your present is key, putting that knowledge to work is equally as important. Setting realistic, attainable goals, both short- and long-term, is an indispensable part of the therapeutic process. Though I use both psychoanalytic and systems theory to inform my work, for me, the therapeutic relationship remains the cornerstone of treatment. Helping you to understand what goes on between the two of us serves as a model for furthering your understanding of what goes on between you and the other people in your life.
