In my work with patients, I believe that a careful initial evaluation is essential. As the treatment proceeds, I inevitably revise and re-revise my initial understanding, especially as the person in that treatment increasingly comes to his or her own insights.
Though I have great respect for psychologists, it can be a real advantage to see a psychiatrist for psychotherapy. Even if an individual does not require medication, a psychiatrist's medical training allows him to attend to both the psychological and the biological dimensions of the person's difficulties. And should medication prove necessary, he or she can assess the need and prescribe it.
I am proficient in both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, and am comfortable in integrating them in a person's treatment. I adjust the psychotherapy to the needs of the individual. In that sense, you could label me "eclectic," but behind whatever I do in the therapy I have a psychodynamic or psychoanalytically-informed understanding.
To assure confidentiality, I do not communicate by email with patients. but would be happy to hear from you by phone about setting an appointment.

Be aware that I do not accept insurance as an "in network provider" except the Chickering student insurance for students at the University of Pennsylvania. If you have other insurance, you may wish to check with your insurance company about their "out of network" provisions for reimbursement so that when we discuss fees, you will have some idea what they will reimburse you. I should mention that many individuals with whom I meet have Blue Shield Personal Choice, and are receiving partial reimbursement for seeing me "out of network."
