My Approach to Helping

I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with young children, with adolescents, and with adults. I approach therapeutic work from a strongly developmental perspective: genetic, biological, familial, semiotic (linguistic and meaning-making), cultural, and relationship patterns all influence human development. I have special interest in personality and identity development through life's transitions (for example: parenting, attachment and separation, coping with college, new baby, grief, identity crises, career, major life events, etc.). I work with patients with symptoms of anxiety, depression, attention or learning problems, and those who have experienced traumatic stress or unusual mental symptoms.

I am particularly sensitive to multicultural concerns and to the importance of knowing oneself in the context of relationships with others. I combine my scientific background in development and neuroscience with my interests in psychoanalysis and culture. I have a background as a university professor with an extensive research career studying children and adolescent personality development.

My psychotherapy style is depth- and insight-oriented. Duration of treatment varies from shorter-term to open-ended. In my therapeutic work, I combine matters of the spirit with matters of science: I have a passion for understanding people, a commitment to reducing suffering, and a regular sense of humor.
