KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE. Stuck? Worried? Depressed? Low self-esteem? Experiencing relationship problems, difficulty parenting children, work/career, phase-of-life problems such as aging parents, illness, difficulty organizing yourself; addiction to alcohol or food? Compulsions? I will tackle your most acute symptoms first, explore solutions and behavior changes to enable better choices, explore barriers to achieving life & career goals. Very importantly, self-knowledge through exploration is crucial in avoiding repetition throughout the life cycle. I am also a certified psychoanalyst and experienced in the deeper, psychoanalytic approaches. I tailor my approach to the client's needs and capabilities.
I am bilingual/bicultural: English/Italian; attuned to issues of acculturation/ethnicity. Postgraduate training includes alcoholism counseling; supervisor/educator and published on different topics. Cancellation policy: Except for two weeks of vacation, you are responsible for all scheduled sessions including missed sessions. If regular attendance is not possible for you, please discuss immediately.
IMPORTANT: If you have urgent needs/problems such as suicidality or other harmful behavior/urges, you should contact a hospital-based clinic with 24-hr. accessibility and/or a structured program specializing in such problems. I would not be available 24hrs/day and you would be best served at a clinic that has such service.
