I believe individuals manage the best they can, but these efforts do not always naturally translate to happiness or self-fulfillment. Oftentimes, situations cause us pain and in response, we spend considerable energy safeguarding our vulnerabilities at the expense of our well-being. Managing emotional distress alone can feel overwhelming, which is why we often need help from a sensitive, knowledgeable professional.

Psychotherapy is a search to improve the emotional balance in one's life and to adjust the "fit" between personal preferences and social circumstances. By using a variety of strategies, it is often possible to reduce emotional obstacles and to open opportunities for a more satisfying daily life. As a psychologically experienced tour guide, I use academic and practical knowledge and the client-therapist relationship to help clarify thoughts and feelings and to suggest practical "homework".
