Times of crisis are not only occasions that require mindful problem-solving, but can also be opportunities for personal growth. Psychotherapy should provide a calm and supportive setting to reduce anxiety and stress, increase a sense of confidence and competence, and promote the establishment of more satisfying connections to others. My training encompasses psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapy. I work actively and collaboratively with individuals (from 8 to 85), couples, and families. I also provide neuropsychological evaluations for children and adults experiencing difficulties in personal, academic, or occupational functioning.
Different people approach psychotherapy with different needs, goals, and expectations. I conduct psychotherapy in a flexible and collaborative manner that is adapted to the individuals with whom I am working.
Therapy can be as brief as possible, or as long as necessary. The only consistent requirement I have is a commitment to making changes in one's attitudes, beliefs, and actions, so therapy can be effective. Because if nothing changes, nothing changes.
