I try to help patients discover those aspects of themselves, their partner, or relationship, enabling them to address their issue, moving to the next phase more satisfyingly. I do not bring any prior ideas or thoughts about the best outcome, but let my patient(s) guide the treatment. Working with someone means being available to the sort of dialogue that will be helpful. Some want to discuss a specific issue; with others, a larger pattern is revealed through our interactions. My adapting to the relationship, with the client not having to fit my style, is a particular strength of mine.

I am a creative, dynamic psychoanalyst, who has a background in Fine Art. I have practiced for over 15 years with a wide range of patients with a primary focus on creating a space to allow for the work to start to acknowledge, engage and integrate different parts of themselves - leading in time to a more fulfilling and informed life. This is difficult, often painful work. In a way, you come in to this to have to fail, to let go of who you think you should be (past and present) and find ways to see where you are rather than where you are not. It is a journey akin to entering the green world of Shakespeare, unchartered territory.

We all have the fundamental need to grow into and express who we are meant to be. However, this natural process can be inhibited by our need to adapt to pressures of family and society, by trauma, or by seemingly unresolvable contradictions in our personality. The goal of therapy is to bring this latent process to life, and to make it more conscious. A good therapeutic relationship will help you to be more receptive to yourself and to notice and honor these inner workings.

In my psychology practice, I work with people who enter psychotherapy for many reasons--from general issues including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem to specific problems such as divorce, family conflict, and career crises. Some people are dealing with a long-standing issue, while others are struggling with recent stressors.

Psychotherapy is a unique human relationship. Its purpose is fuller self understanding leading to a more satisfying and successful life. My central focus is respect for each person's individuality, on your hopes, your fears, and understanding how your unique problems have come to interfere with a fulfilling life.

Often people enter therapy frustrated and confused about parts of themselves acting in ways they don't understand. Why can’t I stop drinking? Why am I eating when I am not hungry? Why am having trouble ending a relationship? Why am I bored and unfulfilled? I believe that without extending curiosity towards the parts of ourselves seem to stand in our own way, we will remain stuck. Our frustration and confusion is often internal, not external, and learning how to understand oneself through therapy can often lead to increased clarity, presence, and connection with oneself and others.

I am a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults and children, in a multitude of cultures and settings. My treatment approach stems from my firm belief that we all have the capacity to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, rich with experiences, emotions and relationships. Suffering associated with anxiety, depression and other emotional problems can be alleviated through attentive and collaborative psychotherapy work. In therapy I provide a safe and warm environment to jointly look into patterns of difficulties in dealing with feelings and relationships. From this place of reflection and exploration change and growth emerge.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves in order to lead happier, more productive and more stable lives. I work well with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders as well as those dealing with relationship issues who are having difficulty managing the everyday stressors of their lives, which impede on their capacity for productivity and satisfaction. While psychotherapy and psychoanalysis allow individuals to more deeply explore their emotions, behaviors, and relationships, I also integrate skills training, coaching, and coping strategies that allow one to function more effectively in interpersonal, professional, and creative situations.

I hope to establish a cooperative and safe environment to work with individuals, couples, and families - one which offers reassurance to those courageous enough to seek therapy and are likely feeling overwhelmed by the process. I tailor therapy and discuss approaches that meet your needs (both short-term and long-term goals) at a pace and depth in which you are comfortable. I hope to help expand the richness of your emotional experiences, generate and evaluate alternative solutions with respect to the difficulties you face, and heighten your level of self-awareness.

Psychotherapy is a gift you can give yourself. If you're feeling down or you can never fully relax; it might be hard to imagine you could feel better. Maybe you keep repeating unsatisfying relationship patterns even though you want something else. These challenges, as well as many others, can interfere with the joyful, satisfying life you want. Psychotherapy can help you understand parts of yourself you don't fully know. Ultimately, this enables you to experience greater freedom and to explore new possibilities. Psychotherapy involves emotional, intellectual, and bodily experience and can therefore be deeply transformational.
