Welcome to my practice website.  I am an experienced clinical psychologist and practicing psychoanalyst conveniently located between Harvard Square and Central Square in Cambridge.  I have many years of experience helping people develop, expand and deepen their emotional lives, a profoundly rewarding process that allows more satisfaction and success in relationships and career.  My intention in working with you is to help you create a more satisfying, emotionally enriched and personally meaningful life.

 

I have a particular interest in working with highly successful individuals, who despite their many successes and achievements find they are unhappy, unfulfilled, or have unsatisfying personal lives.  I see many scholars, academics, writers, business professionals and artistic/creative individuals from the Cambridge area community.  People who consult me have often tried other therapeutic approaches and found them to be superficial, “too cognitive” or otherwise ineffective. Working together we frequently discover underlying inhibitions, unrecognized anxieties or unacknowledged emotional blocks that limit freely moving ahead toward fulfillments in career or personal life, fulfillments that then begin to feel more within reach.  In my experience, an analytic/therapeutic relationship built on trust and emotional security offers the best hope of helping you move beyond emotional obstacles that hamper you.  All of our work is strictly confidential.

 

In addition to my work as an analyst/therapist, I am a writer, scholar and teacher.  I am on the faculty of several local training institutes, and I provide consultation to, and supervise, other mental health professionals on their work.  I enjoy working with young career professionals,

graduate students and therapists seeking to expand and develop their skills and talents.
