As a psychologist and psychoanalyst I believe most of us can benefit from psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. As treatment modalities psychotherapy and psychoanalysis relieve symptoms on the one hand, facilitate emotional growth and development on the other. Therapist and patient work together to uncover the roots of emotional disturbances by exploring the present and past experiences. I provide individual, couple and family therapy to adults and children through consultation, crisis intervention, short-term and long-term psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. The therapeutic sessions are conducted in the privacy of my offices for a person to explore issues concerning him or her.

I treat psychological difficulties with a compassionate, yet results-oriented approach. When someone suffers from a medical disorder, a comprehensive assessment of the problem is required in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect, treatment will repeatedly fail. As a diagnostician, my focus is to treat people, many of whom had been non-responsive to previous psychological / medical treatment, in this same way. Only with a correct diagnosis will treatment be effective. Once determined, goals discussed, a treatment plan in place, the therapy begins. With time and work, individuals grow to experience enhanced emotional health along with interpersonal and professional contentment.
