Now, more than ever, people may need assistance due to their everyday stresses of living. It can be overwhelming to try to balance family, career and relationships. Or maybe you have had a recent life experience which is causing you to seek help. Sometimes people are simply looking to gain more self-awareness and to grow emotionally. Whatever your reason, therapy can help.

Yet, feelings of anxiety, sadness, loss, emptiness, or disappointment gnaw at you. From time to time, you think about your past, from your adolescence to relationships and choices. These things aren’t directly related to your life now so you wonder why they come up at all but you cannot reconcile them.

I use a comprehensive approach with a strong mind-body focus and integrate psychoanalysis with neuroscience.This helps to interpret properly and work more efficiently toward transforming maladaptive mechanisms that stifle your life. Often I use Neurofeedback and Biofeedback and work directly and noninvasively with the brain and the nervous system. This helps you self-regulate and embody change quicker, with less distress. In most cases the results are permanent.
