Psychotherapy can help you lead a happier, more fulfilling life.

I work with clients from all walks of life, including men, women, and adolescents. I also have extensive experience with couple therapy and marriage counseling, including with same-sex couples.

My Background

As you can tell from my publications, my background is as a psychoanalyst and historian. I studied at Harvard, the University of Chicago, and the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. I taught for 50 years—yes, I started young but retired in 2019—and have kept my therapy practice alive and well. My books and articles speak to the variety of my interests, which broadly focus on clinical aspects of psychotherapy and psychological studies of historical topics.

My Approach & Philosophy

I trained formally in psychoanalysis but not the kind where the therapist sits behind the couch and grunts occasionally. In fact, I don’t even believe in the therapeutic effectiveness of the couch, which is one reason I think virtual psychotherapy works. One needs to see and experience your therapist and not look at me through a glass darkly. Many of my patients find that psychiatric medicine helps them, just as others benefit from various 12-step programs, but nothing matches the magic of good talk therapy. The psychotherapy I practice centers on empathy and mutuality, immediate experience, and inquiry into self.
