My Approach to Your Therapy

What I Do

 

I work with adults, couples and families at various stages of their lives across a wide variety of mental health and relationship issues. While rooted in psychodynamic understanding, my approach to treatment draws from the variety of skills I have to target problems and set goals in the most helpful and achievable ways.

I place great value in developing caring and collaborative relationships with my patients so that together we can move towards better self-awareness and improvement. Whether you have problems with relationships, your career, family, sudden life changes or just want to sort things out to enhance your life, I will tailor your treatment to best suit your needs.

Therapy is about change and gaining self-acceptance, so my approach is based on understanding and addressing my patients’ past experiences, current situation and future goals. Throughout the years, I have learned that attuned therapeutic work and the ability to communicate constructively, form the basis for any change and success.

Each person is unique and experiences the world in their own way. Depending on your goals, the complexity of your challenges and your desire, our work together can range from brief, targeted therapy or more extensive long-term treatment.

Whether it be surmounting a temporary setback or helping patients over the course of several decades, I’m proud of the many successes both my patients and I have had working together.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
