I see patients face-to-face at my practice as long as you are not ill and have not been in contact with someone who has.
About
I understand that you are at a point in your life where you probably feel like your problems are out of control due to circumstances or perhaps choices that you or others have made that have affected you in a bad way. Be that as a result of trauma in your current relationships or trauma from past relationships or direct trauma you have experienced. I want to help you gain back control of yourself, your life, and find your own way of dealing with the problems that got you here in the first place.
I have 20 years experience as a psychologist. My approach focuses on helping couples and individuals with developmental problems (called "diagnoses") to identify, acknowledge and address the issues that have kept them from living the lives they want to live.
Although I cannot take problems out of your hands, I am all about walking the long and difficult road with you.
