Psychiatry
Accepting New Patients

Overview

I have been in practice for more than 40 years. I do mainly psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. While I find psychopharmacology a useful to treatment in some cases, I have found that no one really better without an opportunity to tell his life's story, in his many versions, to a careful and patient listener.
