It can be difficult to find the right psychotherapist: you have to feel comfortable, trusting to share your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. You want empathy, understanding, and compassion from a therapist who remains professional, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental. You and your therapist must be a good “fit,” so the two of you can ally to make connections and work through issues. With more than 35 years’ experience as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Center City Philadelphia, I may be the right therapist for you.
I specialize in treating adults and couples experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, including with a spouse, partner (gay or straight), parent, sibling or other family member, friend, boss, coworker. My approach is psychodynamic, where we focus together on insight and understanding in order to bring about change. We will be like a team of detectives, trying to puzzle out and alter your repetitive patterns. I work on two levels, helping you identify what you might do right now for your current situation, while we explore underlying causes to permanently resolve your problems.
