Summary
I was trained as a psychoanalyst and have been practicing in New York City for more than 30 years. When my own fertility struggles went from years of hopelessness to renewed possibility, this not only changed the course of my life, but of my work as well. To help those struggling through the loss toward a new future became the focus of my practice. I see individuals, couples and lead groups for those pursuing family building using donor assistance, which is my particular area of research interest.
