I work with adults, adolescents, and children of diverse backgrounds and identifications seeking therapy that is supportive, illuminating, challenging and productive. My approach to therapy involves listening to what you say and where you struggle to say it, identifying entrenched patterns or unexamined assumptions, emphasizing novel formulations, and helping you discover more creative responses and possibilities. My practice is rooted in psychoanalysis, which offers a frame for promoting crucial discoveries of what is working against you, what capacities have been overlooked, and what new possibilities can emerge.

Life can present myriad difficulties. We may be navigating individual challenges--life transitions, unstable relationships, loneliness, confusion, or career stress. We may also be troubled by the challenges we face collectively, like systemic injustice, our rapidly shifting world, and climate change. A trusted therapist can provide a space for us to express ourselves and can support us through the process of healing.

Psychoanalysis is a unique experience in which one has a singular, protected space to explore the furthest reaches of one’s mind in all its complexity. A creative process evolving out of two people reflecting together in a room, narratives are shaken, while roots of psychological pain are uncovered and given language in the context of an intimate, therapeutic relationship that is multi-dimensional and transformative. We are all motivated to deaden certain feelings, thoughts, and sensitivities within ourselves, which comes at some cost to one’s ability to remain open to living a life creatively and free from compulsion.

Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned in popular media but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain, wrought by a personal history that can sometimes only come alive when spoken to a professional listening other. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. I see my work as bringing my clients closer to that possibility. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.

No matter how fortunate you may be, still human life is difficult. Despite your best efforts, at times life's stresses can be too much: you may be overwhelmed. Hurt, fear, guilt, anger, shame, grief: feeling bad can alert you to where the trouble lies, or add to your emotional burdens. Confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief - all of these painful states are attempts to ward off problems or fix what's wrong, but they can also make things worse.

I work with individuals who've found themselves faced with a range of issues, including depression and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, isolation and loneliness, hopelessness and confusion, addiction, and recovery from addiction. The couples I see usually contend with conflict and communication problems, often deeply painful and ingrained. In all my work, with individuals and couples, I find it helpful to mix the immediacy of in-the-moment experience with thoughtful reflection and exploration, respecting both conscious and unconscious processes, the explicit as well as the implicit.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
