Over the past 25 years I have maintained a private practice in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of emotional struggles, trauma, chronic pain, and other mind-body problems. My approach is contemporary psychoanalytic and eclectic, strongly influenced by the confluence of intrapsychic, developmental, relational, biopsychosocial, cultural, and systemic considerations. After an initial assessment, my patients and I together work out a flexible psychotherapeutic plan individualized to their goals and needs, context, family, history, and development. I love teaching. Infant development, chronic pain and other mind-body problems, trauma, child development, and working with parents are among the courses I currently teach to psychotherapy and psychoanalytic students at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, and to adult and child psychiatry residents at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I also co-teach a semester course at the University of Pennsylvania on anthropologic and psychoanalytic perspectives on child development. This course is part of the Psychoanalytic Studies minor at UPenn. Supervision brings me much enjoyment and mutual learning. I supervise various mental health professionals, including psychiatry residents at Penn, psychoanalytic candidates, psychotherapy students, and various mental health professionals. My goal is to facilitate learning in a process that is enjoyable, relaxed, and open, and in which both participants learn from each other and from the patient. My areas of special interest include: chronic pain and other mind-body problems; chronic illness; trauma; development in infancy and throughout the lifespan; non-verbal communication; and cultural and micro cultural influences on development, mental health, and psychotherapy. In addition to being on faculty at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, I am a Training and Supervising analyst, Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.
