My Approach to Helping

If you feel the need to heal and grow, remove the barriers that get in your way to a happier life, therapy can help. Often it is not possible to attain your full potential, without some guidance. My strength as a therapist lies in my ability to adapt myself to my clients needs and goals. I believe in integrative psychotherapy. This is why I invested time and effort to train myself in a variety of approaches. I am trained in techniques ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy to psychodynamic therapy. I have also specialized in hypnotherapy and sex therapy.
My broad experience, both personally and professionally, allows me to help my clients achieve their goals. Above and beyond all the techniques and theories, I believe that the cornerstone of therapy is honesty.
In therapy you can be yourself, and feel accepted. My style is compassionate, direct, and practical. I believe that honesty and acceptance will help you access wisdom and creativity inside you and help you guide yourself to a better life.
