Meet Kit

I’m a Licensed Psychoanalyst and certified Gestalt Therapist practicing in New York City. I’m also licensed to provide mental health counseling in Massachusetts. My style of interacting may be more casual and conversational than you would expect from a clinician, but I’m paying close, compassionate attention. I incorporate a holistic somatic approach, looking at how your head, your heart, and your gut work to support each other–or don’t. In sessions, I’m not so fixated on explaining why you do what you do, as much as exploring how you do your life and experimenting with what else you might try. These explorations include talk therapy, movement, dialogue, vocalizations, and sometimes creative experiments, like drawing. We may even look at nutrition and sleep patterns. I am responding to you as a whole person, in a complex situation.

Intellectual explanations for your circumstances are not enough. It’s important to move beyond conscious thoughts into emotion and your physical being, especially when the brain is stuck in its habits and beliefs. I pay attention to the wisdom of the body through awareness of physical sensations, and the wisdom of the psyche through dreams. Ultimately, we are continually seeking balance and integration of body, mind, spirit, and environment.
