While I use a variety of techniques tailored to your needs, I focus on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is an evidence-based treatment approach that integrates the latest research on the neuroscience of self-regulation, attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness and experiential learning. This technique demands full and active collaboration between the patient and therapist.

So often in life there are things that we feel that we leave unsaid. This might be with a parent, a child, a partner, or a friend. And it can also happen in the client-therapist relationship. For myriad reasons, people aren’t always completely forthright in therapy, and it can block them from reaching the level of progress they seek and of which they are capable.

This is why I highly encourage my clients — and anyone seeing a therapist — to commit to 100% honesty in sessions to allow for the most effective therapeutic experience. If you find yourself actively not saying something in therapy, it is likely that is just the thing that would be helpful to say.

Through ISTDP and other techniques I help people fully experience and address painful feelings toward the goal of reducing unnecessary suffering. As a result, they can expect to achieve greater emotional clarity and freedom and a reduction of their symptoms.

I moved to virtually seeing clients at the start of the COVID pandemic. Online therapy has proven to be a very effective platform, and my clients report that it is more convenient for them than making office visits.

I employ the following services for online therapy: V-See, a HIPAA-compliant video-conferencing application, and Zoom for Medical Professionals.
