I specialize in treating vulnerable narcissistic issues that involve low self-esteem, illness anxiety, depressive thoughts and feelings, emotional conflict, self-defeating behaviors, anxiety, alienation, and difficulties with trust.

I'm a results-oriented, solution-focused psychologist who, over 25 years in practice, have honed my own active, directive therapeutic approach to deliver results in a time-efficient, step-wise manner. After an initial chronological overview, in which we track the origins and development of your presenting symptoms/challenges, we establish clear, achievable goals and map out steps for reaching these goals. Utilizing goal-focused, cognitive-behavioral techniques, I’ll guide and assist you in identifying and overcoming past hindrances to meeting your desired goals, and provide you with skills for maintaining your achieved goals.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Whether you are deciding begin therapy or looking to continue, I consider this decision to be a tremendous act of courage. To be in therapy is to admit to yourself and another person that you are tired of your current situation, and you want change.

I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD.

My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.

BILINGUAL PSYCHOTHERAPIST.I enjoy my work as a Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst. My very extensive training at an analytic Institute has prepared me to listen first and then assess the patient's needs. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important guide to help face the challenges of love and work in their lives.

It is in the depths of our psyche where fear and longing reside. We use tricks and masks to defend against knowing ourselves and yet yearn to be known, long to be recognized. The journey to discovery consists not only in what we say about ourselves but how we are listened to. It is in this unique place of psychoanalysis where the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious meet. Once we start to listen to the stories we tell about ourselves, and are heard, the mind is opened to a more expansive self and healing can begin.
