Expert Psychotherapy Services in Philadelphia
As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate psychological and developmental challenges. I serve as Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Haverford College and hold faculty positions at The William Alanson White Institute and The Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia. My practice integrates interpersonal and relational psychoanalysis, informed by over two decades of clinical experience and academic contributions, including co-authoring 'Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Adolescents' and editing 'Making Our Ideas Clear: Pragmatism and Psychoanalysis.' I work collaboratively with adolescents and adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and existential questions, prioritizing patient expertise in their lived experience.My therapeutic approach emphasizes understanding both the individual and how others perceive them, utilizing process material and role-playing to deepen clinical insights. Actively licensed in New York and Pennsylvania, I maintain PsyPact membership for cross-state telehealth services while adhering to strict ethical standards of transparency and patient-centered care.

Services
Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy addresses depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and existential concerns for adolescents and adults. Sessions use collaborative dialogue to explore personal challenges and develop coping strategies. The practice emphasizes patient self-understanding and relational dynamics.
Clinical Consultation
Professional consultation supports therapists through case review, treatment planning, and clinical impasse resolution. Services include role-playing interventions and process material analysis to enhance therapeutic effectiveness for practicing mental health professionals.
Relational Psychoanalysis
Specialized psychoanalytic treatment explores unconscious patterns in relationships and self-perception. The approach integrates interpersonal dynamics with developmental psychology to address long-standing emotional challenges and behavioral patterns.

Tailored mental health support for adolescents addresses academic stress, identity development, and social challenges. The therapeutic approach maintains confidentiality while considering family system dynamics and developmental needs.
