It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers.

I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

I want to help you to unleash your greatest potential to be healthy and happy in the most effective, brief manner. Do you suffer and experience anxiety in dealing with your problems? Are you easily discouraged and lack energy to achieve your goals? Are relationships difficult for you? Do you need solutions to uncomfortable, difficult life experiences fast?

Imagine waking up with a sense of hope and relief because you feel in control of your life. I have been teaching patients how to understand and take control of their problems and symptoms since 1981, using a variety of techniques to achieve mental and emotional health. In addition to being in private practice, I have also worked in psychiatric and medical settings. One of my goals as your therapist will be to quickly identify the issues and the repetitive patterns that exist for you. After initial assessment, I will teach you how to manage your thoughts, feelings and reactions.

Why do you think people turn to psychologists? Because they want to change their lives. People want changes. If you feel the need for change, I can help you with this, because I studied at the Department of Neuro and Patho Psychology and I know how the cognitive functions of the brain work and how the unconscious is formed, which stores hidden files that prevent a person from development and adaptation. Step by step the road will be mastered by the walking. Let’s go.

Each session is catered towards the individual, to ensure that your therapeutic journey is one that is most helpful to you.

My approach is collaborative. My intention is to be as nonjudgmental as possible, to validate whatever it is you’re going through, and help support your desire to enhance your wellbeing.
