I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for about forty years. After receiving my MSW, I felt I needed additional training to work effectively with clients. I studied psychoanalysis for three years, and I received a certificate in psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy. It was extremely helpful because of the intensive supervision I received.
In recent years my work has become more eclectic, and I use a variety of modalities to treat my patients. It has become obvious to me in recent years that social factors such as racism and economic concerns have a big impact on how my clients function. I have also finished a two-year program at the White Institute that focused on treating eating disorders.
For the past three years, I’ve been working in a group setting with other therapists, where the focus has been on eating disorders and other maladaptive behavior patterns. I work with clients from age 17 and up, performing individual and couples counseling, and helping them address underlying issues from their past that may be interfering with their functioning now.
