Philosophy & Vision
I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with 20 years of full time professional clinical experience in private practice. I have had three clinical trainings. Initially trained as a philosophy academic, I bring a great deal of insight from the history of ideas to my clinical practice. I hold an inviolable ethical position of confidentiality. My expertise lies in attentive listening and working well with intense situations. I draw from both a rich classical tradition and a contemporary approach.
