In my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families who experience difficulties or encounter roadblocks. In the safety of the therapeutic relationship, I will help you create new patterns of interacting with others and develop an empowering, fulfilling sense of self. My style is open, collaborative, and empathetic. Clinical Thinking: The experience in therapy is different for each person--informed by age, temperament, history, and the issues at hand. Some clients respond best to an introspective, reflective approach, while others work better with directive, active methods. I find that a relational framework is helpful to most people seeking therapy. When I meet a new client, I get to know his or her needs, goals, and personal style. These determine how to approach therapy with that individual or family. Some of my areas of special interest are non-traditional families, men’s issues, life transitions, and medical issues. Methods: I am trained in a variety of clinical models, including CBT (Cognitive behavior Therapy), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma treatment for individual clients, as well as several family therapy, child therapy, and couple counseling models. Background: I received my Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University in 1996. Since receiving the MSW degree, I have participated in advanced training in numerous treatment models, and endeavor to keep up with the field by regularly attending professional conferences. As a clinical supervisor, I have nurtured the professional growth of clinicians and graduate students at a Duke Medical Center training clinic. I have lectured about family therapy, childhood trauma, and parenting in a variety of academic and public forums. Languages: In addition to English, I am a native speaker of Hebrew, and I speak conversational Italian. Insurance: I am a provider for several insurance plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, MHN, American Behavioral, and Duke University UBH student insurance program. If I cannot accept your insurance plan, or if you don’t have mental health coverage, I will be happy to talk to you about a financial arrangement. .
