Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
As an Advanced Fellow at Clinical Alliance Services, I use psychodynamic, developmental, systems, and relational approaches in my work. By being open to learning about the past and how we evolved, I believe we can find different ways of being in the present that alleviate suffering and support creativity and openness. I try to help clients see and appreciate their own emotions and strengths and to be curious about how they might be stuck or blocked. I strive to help each person seek and support their unique place in the world. I offer individuals and couples therapy to adults of all ages for depression, anxiety, conflict avoidance, relational difficulties, self-esteem, and life transitions and adjustments. I am curious about what motivates us and how/why we are driven to move in specific directions in our lives. I appreciate the amazing variety in how individuals grow and develop. I trained at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute and the Psychodynamic Couple & Family Institute of New England. I worked for decades as a lawyer and divorce mediator in my earlier career, counseling individuals, couples and institutions on their rights and responsibilities and helping them identify arrays of possible solutions for their problems.
