My work is psychoanalytic, which means I attend to feelings/beliefs that emerge from one's lived experience/history and that interfere with living fully, creatively, and freely in the present. I believe that psychotherapy, at its best, is a deeply transforming experience that emerges within an intimate and private space in which you are listened to, understood, and responded to honestly and directly. I've been providing psychotherapy for adolescents and adults since 1988. I received my PhD at Smith College, and am the Associate Dean at the Institute for Clinical Social Work (Chicago). I chair the Committee on Social Responsibility for the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work and am engaged in social justice work. I work strictly on a sliding fee basis and am devoted to a process that is confidential and protected from third party interference. Therefore I do not participate in insurance. I often see patients more than once per week and am committed to fee arrangements that make possible a meaningful therapeutic experience.
