Psychotherapy is a pathway to understanding, insight and change. In my work, I focus on helping my patients to develop a greater ability to reflect on oneself, that is, "connect the dots", and a greater ability to feel and to act in the world. I believe that an understanding of a persons's relationships with others, both historically and currently, is central to the process of change. I strive to develop this understanding collaboratively in an atmosphere of openness, safety, honesty and curiosity.
My background is in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis. My approach is interactive with an emphasis on using insight to achieve emotional and relational change. I believe it is important to engage not only the patient's deeper feelings and experiences but also current, everyday stresses and dilemmas.
In my work, exploration of the patient's feelings and beliefs, as they emerge in the process, is the foundation for practical problem solving and enhanced ability to act. I believe that behavioral change that reflects greater self-awareness and emotional well-being is central in a successful psychotherapy.
