"The core of my professional life is providing individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, couples counseling, and clinical supervision. In over 30 years of practice I've centered my work on using empirically-supported psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic approaches to support individual freedom and dignity, as well as the capacity to love and be loved. Along the way I've learned that healing and growth can best take place inside the emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic choreography of the relationships we have with each other. Psychoanalytic relationships are a particular kind of empathic relationship specifically designed to optimize growth and healing."
