When we battle consistent feelings of emotional pain all alone, a very heavy inescapable sense of hopelessness can take over. In this isolation with the world feeling so far outside of us, the idea of feeling better becomes impossible to grasp. I believe the human sense of hope is linked to our overall sense of health. With over 30 years of experience working as a medical doctor, I became overwhelmed with how many patients came to me in this state, and how closely linked emotional and physical pain really are. This is what led me to pursue a post-doctorate in psychoanalysis, so as to integrate the mind and body in my work.
Every individual is unique like a universe and my approach is always centered on you and your needs. I create a safe and warm space where we go on a path of rediscovery, where we can begin to reshape your perspective and observe your life through a different lens. A light of hope can begin to shine and be projected towards the future you want to build.
It can be scary at first, but I have seen how transformative it is to connect with somebody that can listen and react with compassion to what you usually carry on your own. Hopeful change is possible when you give yourself the opportunity to connect with the help you need. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
