My Approach to Helping

"The mystery at the center of every life speaks the fundamental question--- What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why? At the same time I must explore why everything that irritates me about others can lead me to an understanding of myself"....C.G.Jung


Having difficulties with your relationships? Having trouble finding meaning in life?

I believe these two concepts are connected. I believe that everyone has the capacity, inside of them, to find both meaning and fulfilling relationships.

As an experienced psychodynamic and systems therapist, I believe that people evolve on two dimensions. One that is influenced by life experiences and the other by one's own unique nature. Where these two dimensions meet is often where exploration is needed.

My treatment approach is to provide support, insight, and goals to help clients address current life challenges and long standing issues. With compassion and understanding, I help individuals, couples, and families find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns as well as finding their true calling.

With an integration of Jungian and Object Relation approaches, I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques, such as DREAM ANALYSIS and FAMILY of ORIGIN WORK. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs to help them attain individuation and thus true happiness.
