Education
and psychotherapy have formed the skeleton of life in my view.
Richness of exposures and depth of trainings make for the best
therapists: at least I have believed this for years.
With
a Ph.D. ·in a field allied to therapy, I had already spent 16 years
teaching, at UCLA, USC, and Antioch University West when I decided
to return to school for clinical training. I specialized in children
and families as a base: I knew I would go on for postgraduate work.
I studied one psychoanalytic program for adults and became board
certified: at the same time, I took another and did three of four
years' psychoanalytic training for children and adolescents.
My
approach is developmental because that is how each of us grows. We
are a mixture of body and psyche, and many influences that touch us
through life. But contrary to single orientation, I have adopted
strengths from 'cognitive behavioralists' to compliment my
other training. Hopefully, the breadth of knowledge and depth
of trainings will be why you come to me.
That
is the 'me' part.
When
you come to treatment, you bring the totality of 'you.' Your
interaction is critical. You have already asked your best
friends' opinion, that of your PCP, and others yet the 'problem' has
persisted. Every oddity you reveal to me, every question, fear, or
dream is a contribution to 'our' discovery of what holds the
'problem' in place for you, you and your mate, or your child.
Therapy is both a journey and a process.
People in
and around Glastonbury, West Hartford, Old Saybrook, Essex, Chester, Deep River and Ivoryton have told me that
there are few therapists well trained to work with children and
adolescents as well as adults and couples.
I
hope I may be of service
to you and/or members your family.
