I bring to the treatment setting over thirty years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist , first working with families and children who have experienced trauma, then as a graduate psychoanalyst with expertise in recognizing and treating unconscious patterns that play out in current relationships and behaviors. Every situation is unique, and difficult problems must be deeply understood to effect lasting change. Together we will identify and work through the underlying dynamics that contribute to your current concerns. Psychodynamic work is beneficial for those who have an interest in, and a capacity for, self-reflection and personal growth.
Therapy is a safe, confidential, non-judgmental partnership which elucidates those factors which are not always easily identified, yet which continue to shape and influence your life. These factors may cause depression or anxiety, may affect your important relationships, may contribute to your difficulties in work, and may even interfere with the healing process itself.
Effective treatment requires MORE from a therapist than compassionate listening. It requires clinical experience, knowledge, and wisdom so that meaningful insights can be actively brought to bear on the realities and struggles of adult life. Deep and abiding change can be hard work, but for many it is well worth the effort.
