I am licensed in New York State as a Marriage and Family Therapist with fifteen years of professional experience. I believe that much of therapy is about a bond that develops between client and therapist and that both the therapist and the client can be regarded as experts about what is being experienced by the client. I received my MA degree have from New College of California in 1994 and later graduated from The Ackerman Institute For The Family in New York City in 2007. While
my treatment approach is eclectic, combining schools of thought, I am basically Psychodynamic in style, combining aspects of Self Psychology and Family Therapy in my interventions.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Blended Family Issues, Communication problems, Dissociation, Domestic Violence, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Mood disorders , Narcissism, Personality Disorders, Self-love, Sexual Assault and Abuse
Clinical approaches: Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Internal Family Systems
