I am an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist working primarily through individual psychotherapy. I see most of my patients on at least a weekly basis. Although I do sometimes prescribe medication, the management of medication is not my primary focus. I believe in psychotherapy because it is more effective than medication for most concerns, and because it can be a powerful,
relationship
-based experience that works to close past wounds. As a therapist, I try to always be open and compassionate as I listen and intervene.

Emotional pain can be invisible and debilitating, and hold us back from achieving happiness. Our experiences can color the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Taking a look at ourselves and discovering patterns can help us make different choices and find a path to happiness.

We view them as deeply embedded in
relationship
, and create together what will be healing as their wounds speak through their spontaneous gestures.
For 45 years I have practiced relational, body-oriented psychotherapy. When you have no words for your feelings, for what happened to you… for what is missing in you, I listen to the inner resonance- of your inchoate secrets- as it lives in your body. I help you to sense and amplify this resonance until its movement comes close enough to the surface of your being to enter your consciousness. This nonverbal, implicit process brings a unique dimension to my work.

Couples Counseling Psychiatrists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
