About My Clients

My ideal clients are people who are psychologically minded and interested in understanding how they have created their lives. This is particularly relevant with regard to how they behave in relationships. My clients come to see me to explore anxious and depressed feelings that stem from relationship difficulties. Together, we find understanding, and strategies for change.

My Background and Approach

In my work, I'm interested in every part of your life, and I will help you to realize your full potential as a human being. We will do this by exploring how the past has affected your present, and by creating strategies that help you change non productive behaviors into satisfying ways of living. My training is in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. I am an institute trained couples therapist. And

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everybody has within themselves a golden center of health that can be encouraged to come out if the conditions are sufficiently supportive. This is the core of my psychological perspective.
