I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults, adolescents and children on a variety of issues including anxiety, stress, depression and relationship problems. I specialize in therapy designed to target the root of your problem. If you are new to psychotherapy or if you have been frustrated by previous treatments that have only provided short term relief, my therapy might be the right choice for you.

In my years of practicing I have found that everyone can profit from counseling, psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis, depending on their need. I collaborate with my patients to help them better understand and remove the psychological and social barriers that inhbit them from being content and satisfied with their lives. I treat many kinds of patients in many psychological and life situations. I have found that many problems have been life-long, and unfortunately only when they becone too painful and interfere with their lives do people look for help. Sometimes these problems are most acutely felt at times of transition.

In my opinion, psychodynamic therapy is an essential part of psychological work and can be beneficial for people from all walks of life. I have found that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment option for those struggling with overwhelming emotions. One of the benefits of this approach is that it helps to create a safe and trusting relationship, which is important when learning new coping skills.

Are you seeking a culturally sensitive therapist who will not make stereotypical assumptions, but will honor your unique story, history and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe enough to say everything you need to without feeling as though you need to take care of the therapist?

We all turn a blind eye to parts of ourselves that are too painful to experience. In an accepting, nonjudgmental environment, together we will explore the difficulties with which you are struggling, slowly recognizing the parts which you are unaware of, but which influence your experiences, the way you feel, and the way you act or react. Getting to know yourself in a deeper way can lead to a sense of truth, creativity, ownership of experiences, and life choices. I am a psychoanalyst and a psychotherapist, a member at the Contemporary Freudian Society.

Most of us don't welcome difficult emotions; we try to disregard them, because we perceive them as our enemy. In fact, all of our emotions are signals that inform us about ourselves and the world around us, if we can learn to listen to them. When we accept all sides of ourselves and all of our feelings without discriminating against the negative ones, we are able to feel emotionally alive and connected. Psychological suffering occurs not because of our painful emotions, but because we try to erase them, and don't know what to do with them.

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

I am available as a well-trained clinical therapist to work with you on difficult life issues and managing problematic transitions. You are likely overthinking/overanalyzing situations without finding any satisfying resolutions to your problems. When too many unresolved issues related to feeling frustrated, disappointed and stuck leads to emotional suffering, it is time to consider working with a therapist. My approach to therapy is to help you reflect on your current issues which is sometimes (but not always) linked to unresolved childhood family issues. The past can have an unwanted impact over ones' life as functioning adults.
