In Brief: I'm in the private practice of psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in Center City, Philadelphia, PA. I work with patients who have all kinds of emotional or relationship problems. Although I use a variety of modalities of therapy, my favorite, and the one in which I have had the most extensive experience, is psychodynamic psychotherapy, supplemented, if needed, with medication. I received my analytic training with the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia (PCoP), and have been a Training and Supervising Analyst for many years. In addition to my clinical practice, I do a lot of teaching. I'm a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and teach psychodynamic technique to the Penn residents in training to become psychiatrists, as well as to the candidates at PCoP in training to become psychoanalysts. Finally, I teach and supervise a variety of Mental Health Professionals who seek me out for their Continuing Education.
