I am an experienced psychoanalyst and psychiatrist trained to listen to your thoughts and feelings, and work with you in the transference to facilitate your understanding of them. Working in the transference means that I will help you observe moments in the work when you will perceive me, aspects of me, or who you wish me to be, in a similar way you perceive people in your life who have played important roles. Through this process we will begin to understand your thoughts, feelings, and the intricacies of your relationships with those individuals, and how they shaped your life.

I will be listening from a neutral, objective perspective unlike family, friends or peers. Neutral listening is often misunderstood as the analyst being uninvolved, distanced, uncaring or unaffected. This is untrue. Neutral listening is a necessary skill developed through analytic training and years of personal analysis with an analyst colleague. This skill allows me to listen and help you understand your thoughts and feelings with as little interference as possible from my thoughts and feelings about what you say....Back
