Welcome
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of northwest Philadelphia.  I specialize in psychotherapy for adults with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, stress, identity issues, relationship problems, and life transitions.  I work with individuals, couples, or parent-infant pairs.

A component of my psychology practice is specifically geared toward working with and supporting parents.  If this interests you, please check out my "especially for parents" page.

I have extensive training in a variety of psychotherapy approaches and techniques, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, existential, gestalt, relational, and humanistic therapies.  Although I tend to favor a psychodynamic approach, I like to combine what I know in a way that suits each person in order to be the most helpful.  I will work with you to find a style that is comfortable for you and also effective at helping you reach your goals.

Please take a moment to explore my website.  If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail.
