After graduating from social work school 46 years ago, it has been my privilege to have partnered with and met all kinds of people from all walks of life presenting with a myriad of struggles. From my perspective, treatment is all about improving one's quality of life. Experience has shown me that with the appropriate amount of support and reality testing, most people are quite capable of addressing their challenges and feeling better about themselves. I prefer using a more traditional psychodynamic approach to treatment. Such an approach emphasizes providing a positive space for people to change.
I prefer working with trauma survivors, chronic depression, and anxiety related disorders. I enjoy working with people from all ages in individual psychotherapy.
In treatment, we will work together to explore what might get in the way of living the life you want to live.
