"I enjoy working with individuals from late adolescence through adulthood who are coping with problems in living: distress in relationships, work, or creativity; psychological trauma; adjustments to transitions and life changes such as college, illness, parenthood, divorce or aging. Mine is a collaborative approach, focusing on relationships, emotions and developing an improved sense of self and well-being. I have additional training in couples work and help partners to enhance intimacy and to better understand themselves and each other.
Many people come to me for help coping with the trauma of medical illnesses or organ transplants or the stress of caregiving. I edited the book, "A Psychodynamic Understanding of Modern Medicine: Placing the person at the center of care." New York/London: Radcliffe Publishing, 2012.
Parent loss is a special area of interest for me. I work individually and in groups with motherless mothers, that is, women who are mothers, but have lost their own mothers through death, abandonment or estrangement. Please contact me if you would like to be on a waiting list for a Motherless Mothers group."
