HIGHLAND PARK - NEW BRUNSWICK - PRINCETON - SOMERSET
WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. In these pages, I offer you a sense of how I approach helping individuals, couples, adults and adolescents, with emotional difficulties. I also provide you some places to explore the research on the effectiveness of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches to understanding our emotional lives.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of New Jersey and a graduate of the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center (accredited by the American Psychoanalytic Association). I offer psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals, couples and groups. I do parent guidance with a special interest in early childhood, parental death, and childhood medical trauma.

University of Colorado Researcher Reports Effectiveness of Psychodynamic Therapy
"Empirical evidence supports the efficacy of psychodynamic therapy. Effect sizes for psychodynamic therapy are as large as those reported for other therapies that have been actively promoted as “empirically supported” and “evidence based.” In addition, patients who receive psychodynamic therapy maintain therapeutic gains and appear to continue to improve after treatment ends. Finally, nonpsychodynamic therapies may be effective in part because the more skilled practitioners utilize techniques that have long been central to psychodynamic theory and practice. The perception that psychodynamic approaches lack empirical support does not accord with available scientific evidence and may reflect selective dissemination of research findings."
