I have over 25 years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents and couples on a wide variety of emotional issues and life challenges, helping them to recognize their needs and strengths and to discover opportunities for new and different experiences. While some people come to therapy seeking relief from specific emotional problems such as depression, anxiety or stress, or in order to come to terms with a painful or traumatic history, others come with broad dissatisfaction with their lives while at the same time having some sense that there is a better life they could be living, and an unlived version of themselves that they could become. In coming to this website you are likely looking to see if I might be the right person to help you clear paths to reaching your goals. I firmly believe that every one of us has the potential to live a life of our choosing and I will provide a safe and confidential environment in which you will be actively and creatively listened to, and then provide the feedback, guidance and emotional support needed to move your life in new directions. When working well this process of change involves moments of uncertainty, discovery, playfulness, creativity and surprise.

In coming to see me you can expect to receive highly personalized care tailored to your particular needs and interests. In my many years of practicing and teaching psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, time and time again I have found that being closely listened to, understood, and creatively thought about by someone fully open to your experience will enhance your ability to think freely, to feel your experiences more fully, and to deepen your understandings of yourself and others. I draw on a broad body of knowledge – within psychology and psychoanalysis and across disciplines – to understand you compassionately, and carefully take into account the broader communities in which you live and work. I will focus on locating your inner strengths and resources to enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem. I believe there is a universal urge to discover truth and to realize, or reclaim, untapped inner parts of ourselves. I will work with you to clear obstacles that have been holding you back from living a fuller, more meaningful and gratifying life.
On a personal note, I’d like to add that being a clinical psychologist has brought me the wonderful rewards of seeing many patients emotionally unfold and grow to lead more fulfilling lives. This is the most gratifying part of my life as a professional.
