Nothing destroys us as long as we talk about it. -- FRANÇOISE DOLTO
If you are reading this, it is likely that you are experiencing some psychological difficulty, something is not right, some painful feelings, events or conflicts burden your mind. It also means that you know this situation can be helped, there is hope and there is health.
My patients are adults of all ages suffering from a variety of mental and physical conditions. Many often come to me with a single problem which they want to resolve quickly. On the way, some discover they might have a few more. I offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy, including deeper psychoanalysis, as needed for the patient to start living a better, healthier life.
My approach is conversational, with me listening carefully and us together exploring your unique ways of feeling, understanding and being in the world. Collaboratively, we will set the goals for treatment and track our success.
While therapy takes time, in my experience it is a certain way toward regaining mental well-being long-term.
