Philosophy:
It can be difficult to find the right therapist. You want someone who is empathic while remaining professional, intuitive as well as smart, compassionate without sacrificing competence, warm but able to remain clear and focused. Someone you "click" with, someone you can trust and have confidence in, someone who will be your ally in figuring out the puzzle that is you. With over 25 years' experience as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Center City Philadelphia, I might be the psychotherapist you seek. I specialize in treating individual adults and couples with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or life transitions. |

Practice:
I am experienced with treating issues in various kinds of relationships, including with parents, spouse, romantic partner (gay or straight), family members, co-workers, boss, friends. My approach is psychodynamic, which means that together we focus on understanding and insight. We concentrate on your strengths while resolving your difficulties.
With couples, my focus remains psychodynamic - based on insight and understanding - but I supplement that approach with more practical work. We might explore listening to your partner, and trying to truly experience his or her viewpoint. We might look at ways to break repetitive patterns you have developed. Do you find that the two of you get into escalating arguments which then spiral out of control? Would you like to find ways to defuse the tension early in the argument, before things get out of control? Are there ways to recapture the fun and excitement of your early relationship? |
