You are more powerful than you realize and often shape the outcomes you experience in life. Sometimes those outcomes are other than what you want; or they don't live up to your expectations. Your contributions may be unconscious, or perhaps rooted in ineffective thinking. I help you understand your contributions to those outcomes. My job: to help you own your power, think through, and shape your outcomes. How long will you be with me? Just long enough to get the job done; my career is in this office, not yours! My thinking is psychodynamic and work style, eclectic.
I'm a senior Psychologist/ Psychoanalyst; having completed my Psychoanalytic Training at NYU PostDoctoral Program. I've supervised doctoral candidates at CUNY, St. John's, and Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons. I co-authored Children of the Dream: The Psychology of Black Success and been a radio talk show host.
With a background, too, in Industrial Psychology, my work includes Coaching and Psychotherapy with corporate executives and managers, career homemakers, police and fire personnel, college students and "Joe-the-Plumber" (sorry, I couldn't help that one). My patients describe me as respectful, empathic, straight forward, and easy to talk with.
