Have hope! The answers are there inside of you, waiting to be discovered.

I try to account for both environmental & hereditary variables in the treatment paradigm using direct intervention & a mix of traditional psychodynamic & psychoanalytic techniques, including CBT & DBT elements.

Therapy can provide a path to relieving distress and gaining invaluable self awareness.
