Self Psychology Therapists in New Haven, CT

Being a therapist is a great privilege. I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to understand what is happening in their life and why they are struggling. Together, we'll try to understand what is creating the trouble - including perhaps some unconscious patterns that are at work - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and work through what can be done. I create a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment for counseling where we can talk about anything at all without judgment, and in total privacy.

My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

The focus of my practice is on assisting thoughtful, motivated individuals to deepen self-understanding, alleviate points of pain, and increase capacities for full and contented living.

New Haven is home to Yale University and presents one of the sharpest town-and-gown economic contrasts in the United States, where an immensely wealthy private university coexists with a city that has among the highest poverty rates in Connecticut, creating two almost entirely separate mental health landscapes within the same city limits. Yale's counseling and psychiatric services are among the best-resourced university mental health programs in the country, while residents in low-income neighborhoods face significant barriers to mental health care despite being in one of the country's wealthiest states. Yale New Haven Hospital's behavioral health programs serve both communities to some degree, and community mental health centers provide publicly funded care. Common therapy concerns range from academic perfectionism and identity stress in the Yale community to trauma, depression, economic anxiety, and systemic inequality for the city's permanent working-class and low-income residents.
