Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
I see couples looking to repair/renew their relationship with their partners and individuals wanting to improve their relationship with themselves. Major themes include: communication issues, separation, limerence, emotional unavailability, and self-attack. My office is in the Flatiron area, where I also serve as Co-Director at The Center for Human Development, a modern psychoanalytic institute.
My approach is largely modern psychoanalytic and interpersonal, with a special focus on helping patients access their rich, yet often unexplored emotional life.
An essential part of the work I do is shining a spotlight on the inner saboteur to create space for a stronger and more compassionate self-relationship. I also see people in the midst of a limerent episode or when limerence is (however temporarily) in the rearview mirror.
