My Approach to Helping
Each crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ concerns and I work with many heterosexual clients, as well.. My primary approach is relational psychodynamic, meaning I focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship to uncover and work on your deeper issues. An interactive and empathic therapist, I offer advice and support when needed, and I share my own experiences when I think they will be helpful. Though I have extensive, in-depth training, I rely greatly on intuition and humor in my work.
More Info About My Practice
In addition to providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adults, I am certified in psychoanalysis (contemporary relational approach), and I provide professional consultation (supervision) to licensed clinicians. I have over 32 years of psychotherapy experience. I've trained as a tlinical Telemental health provider and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and I've completed a training in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment. I am available to patients in New Jersey (in-person and virtual) and Arizona; California; Delaware; Florida; Idaho; Illinois; Maryland; Massachusetts; New Jersey; New York; Pennsylvania; South Carolina; Virginia; Vermont; Washington, District of Columbia and West Virginia (virtual).
I'm also a Certified Group Psychotherapist. Group therapy is a wonderful way to develop and improve relationships with significant others, family members, friends, colleagues--and other group members. My men's group is open to self-identified men of all races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. Meeting Thursdays at 5 pm, we explore a broad variety of members' issues in a supportive and gently challenging environment. My group for therapists is currently full; let me know if you'd like me to add you to the waitlist.
I offer a free consultation of about 15 minutes to answer any questions you might have and to see whether we might be a good fit. Feel free to contact me--I look forward to hearing from you!
