Modern psychoanalysis offers a deeper, more lasting approach to personal growth than short-term therapies. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, it helps uncover the underlying patterns and emotional dynamics that shape your experience, creating space for meaningful, lasting change.
I also offer consulting services for nonprofit leaders and educators. With over two decades of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalyst—including nine years as Executive Director of a psychoanalytic institute and seven years serving on a national accreditation board—I bring a unique blend of clinical insight, leadership experience, and organizational expertise to the table.

Education
I am a NAAP-Certified Psychoanalyst and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed in PA and NJ. Besides my graduate degree I have completed post-graduate training at the Institute for Modern Psychoanalysis in Manhattan and the Metro Washington Center of the International Psychotherapy Institute in Bethesda.
Bio
I have been in private practice for over 30 years, working with individuals seeking lasting emotional growth, greater self-understanding, and relief from a wide range of challenges. My approach is grounded in modern psychoanalytic principles, offering a thoughtful, steady space for clients to reflect, gain insight, and make meaningful change.
As a Certified Psychoanalyst, Clinical Supervisor, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey), I bring depth, care, and individualized attention to every therapeutic relationship. My work is guided by a belief in the power of long-term, insight-oriented therapy to help people better understand themselves and navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.
