I am interested in helping you develop your creativity to
solve life’s problems. I work with
unconscious processes both in the therapeutic situation, through exploration of
the therapeutic relationship and free association, as well as working with
dreams. I find dreams a great avenue for gaining access to unconscious
dysfunctional patterns that are creating difficulty. I am trained in a specific
technique of dream work called Embodied Imagination. (See link to dream work.) Using this technique, I offer short- term dream work called Brief
Depth Therapy.
However, if you find another method of working more comfortable, I do that also. I have facility in many forms of therapy: interpersonal, relational, Freudian, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Your comfort and style drives the form of therapy.
I am especially interested in the creative process. I try to employ it in doing psychotherapy as our field needs to, and is, constantly evolving. I have written articles integrating psychotherapy with spirituality, neuroscience, even architecture and design. I believe in gaining insight into psychotherapy by studying other fields, which frequently gives new perspectives on old problems.
In practice for over 35 years, I see individuals, couples and groups. I work with children, adolescents and adults. I also do consultation and supervision of therapists, striving to help each clinician develop his or her own voice.
A graduate of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, I am now a Clinical Consultant for the program. I am also Voluntary Psychologist, Mt. Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai, New York, NY. Regarding background working with children, I was a psychologist in the Department of Pediatrics for 10 years at Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY.
