Telehealth Appointments

Integrity and character are the basis for and define all trustworthy relationships, particularly those between a psychotherapist/psychoanalyst and her patients. While always essential, these traits are even more imperative during this time of unprecedented uncertainty. In order to provide continuity of care, telehealth appointments are now available for your safety and convenience via HIPAA compliant platforms, FaceTime, and phone. Please call for an appointment.
Thank you for your trust.

Providing small group and/or individual consultation to clinicians seeking to establish greater rapport with and work more deeply, insightfully, and effectively with high functioning adolescents and young adults on the spectrum and their families.

Over time, psychoanalysis opens a viable portal into the solipsistic, sensory world(s) of these individuals, realms about which they rarely speak. Freud called the psychical world the true reality, and we are building bridges. As the therapeutic relationship expands the small point of interpersonal connection, a permeable and more flexible inside-out membrane through which they can shift self-states with greater volition and efficacy is created – a functional interface between the demanding “real” world and the restorative private interiors that often feel much more alive to them.
