I find that that the ideal patient is someone who wants to make their quality of life better. No two people are the same, and the variety of mental and emotional difficulty that people deal with is vast. In psycho-dynamic psychotherapy we talk about our problems to help clients can face their struggles and make improvements. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is the thorough pursuit of the truth and its remedies.
Psycho-dynamic psychotherapy is in my bloodline, and my DNA. I have been in private practice in Vermont and Colorado for 25 years. I specialize in working with teens and adults to help improve with over all quality of life. This therapy is a modern type of psychoanalysis. I find it helpful for emotional and practical matters, and we get good results.
It can be difficult to decide to start with a new therapist. There are so many unknowns, and clients are often anxious about how to begin. As your therapist I am focused on helping you feel comfortable asking questions of all kinds. My style is to listen first, but I'm also happy to help you start. You'll also find that I welcome feedback.

I use psycho-dynamic methods in working with people who want to make improvements in their lives and their relationships. I begin by asking some basic questions about what they hope to achieve in therapy. This is the beginning of an assessment that we will return to regularly. This therapy seeks to improve various aspects of mental life.
