Services
A variety of different problems can be treated from a psychoanalytically oriented approach. When you call we can talk briefly about your struggles and then we can make an appointment. In the initial appointment we will talk in detail about what troubles you and what your goals are for yourself and your treatment. Then we will talk about my impressions and recommendations.
I work with individuals and couples, adults and adolescents. The kind of treatment I offer requires a very close attention to the person on many levels. Therefore the frequency and consistency of sessions is crucial in achieving resolution to recurring problematic issues.
Psychoanalytically oriented treatment is helpful for a number of different presenting situations as it addresses the underlying emotional and interpersonal tangles that lead to problematic feelings and behaviors. Following is a partial list of the conditions which I treat:
ADOLESCENTS
- phobias
- anorexia
- bulimia
- binge eating and obesity
- obsessive compulsive behaviors
- interpersonal issues
- anxiety disorders
- school problems
- family and parental problems
- addictive behaviors
- depression
- suicidality
- sexuality
- trauma (sexual, emotional, physical)
ADULTS
- anxiety disorders
- obsessive compulsive disorders
- interpersonal difficulties
- anorexia
- bulimia
- binge eating

- addictions and addictive behaviors
- professional and work conflicts
- depression
- sexual difficulties

- trauma (sexual, emotional, physical)
I also provide consultation and supervision, group and individual, to mental health professions and trainees to help them develop their clinical skills. My teaching is based on the most current trends in the fields of psychoanalysis, neuroscience, clinical science and attachment theory.
