About My Clients
It is an honor and a privilege to work with each and every client to help them both to achieve a greater sense of well being and to reach their life goals by identifying, exploring, and overcoming obstacles to their ability to live life in accord with their true selves.
My Background and Approach
I approach you with dignity, understanding, and gentle curiosity. We will work together -- through psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, or personal coaching -- at a pace that feels right to help you overcome the obstacles to living a meaningful life and establishing a greater sense of well-being.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe, as Louis Cozolino wrote, that “Psychotherapy guides us in a safe exploration of our early experiences and helps us create a narrative that associates these early experiences with the ways in which our brains and minds distort our current lives. This process can open the door to greater compassion for oneself, openness to others, and the possibility for healing.” After decades in higher education where I taught and helped students find their path - some of whom faced overwhelming obstacles - I decided I wanted to work more deeply with individuals. Psychoanalysis helps people understand themselves and create solid foundations for constructing a meaningful life of dignity and integrity. I have worked with people of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations - with people in all states of mental and physical health and illness and of varying physical and intellectual abilities.
