I have been in practice for over 25 years and find my work very rewarding. I believe that therapy can help people feel more confident about their place in the world--more confident that the balance of goodness within themselves will allow them to go forward with their lives. I feel respect and gratitude towards my patients; their readiness to explore their areas of vulnerability has helped me to understand similar vulnerabilities within myself. I have learned from many sources; in this sense my approach is eclectic. It is important to tailor frequency and duration of treatment for each patient.
My PhD in Clinical Psychology is from CUNY; I trained at NYU's Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. From 1981 to 1990 I was Psychological Consultant at City and Country School. I enjoy working with children, and have a long-standing interest in treating children on the spectrum.
I first worked as a nursery school teacher, and I earned a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College of Education. I am a member of IPTAR (Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research) and on the faculty of IPTAR's Child Psychotherapy Training Program.
