Brief Bio:
I help people rebound from difficult situations and reclaim purpose, meaning and pleasure in their life. I help them resolve their inner conflicts so that they may gain psychological freedom and enjoy all of what life has to offer them. Resolving inner conflicts removes barriers to relationships that form the basis for a coherent personal identity, relationship intimacy, and success in business and personal life. By using what happens in the therapy relationship, we can encounter, examine, and master the unconscious fears and beliefs that produce the debilitating problems which profoundly affect our lives, and thwart our goals.
Training: I earned a PhD. as a psychologist. I intensively trained for nine years after my PhD. for a specialty (psychoanalysis) for which I am internationally credentialed (IPA). I am distinguished from greater than 95 % U.S. Psychologists in becoming Board Certified (ABPP). How does my training matter for you?
It matters in this way: I know psychotherapy as a science, and as an art. I have learned psychotherapy from my life as a patient, a student/learner, teacher, university executive, adjunct clinical university supervisor, and a treating doctor. I bring all these perspectives to understand and help you.
Involvements & Interests in Psychoanalysis & Psychodynamic Therapies:
I studied psychology in traditional state universities which did not place high value in psychodynamic theory and therapy. Nevertheless, my interest psychodynamic theory/therapy is apparent throughout my career. For example, I used Erik Erikson’s theory of ego identity the basis for conceptualizing ethnic identity when designing and conducting research on the relationship between ethnic identity and self esteem for my master’s thesis. Additionally, I included dimensions salient to psychodynamic perspectives in my Ph.D. research on clinical supervision. My dissertation involved analyzing supervises' preferences for supervision according to several dimensions (e.g., relationship orientation, intuitive cognitive style). This study served as a basis my publication on the topic of clinical supervision in the Journal of Counseling Psychology. I am a recipient of a grant from the American Psychoanalytic Association for funding a studying I designed of the effectiveness of a type of psychodynamic therapy (CCRT) on students who voluntarily presented for treatment following a recent alcohol or drug infraction on a college campus. As the director of a university counseling center, I promoted psychodynamic therapy when supervising the clinical work of doctoral and master's students. In following my interest, I have deepen my knowledge of psychodynamic psychotherapy, as evidenced by becoming certified as a psychoanalyst (PINC), board certified in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychology (ABPP), and a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association. As a psychologist in private, I use routinely use psychodynamic theory in conceptualize the problems my patients speak of and the ways in which I help them overcome their problems.
