Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Feeling helpless to help oneself often brings people into psychotherapy.

I help adults and adolescents with emotional issues that show up in many ways: relationship problems, anger, anxiety or depression that may not make sense or may seem unchangeable, difficulties with work or school performance, or simply feeling stuck.

I offer an engaged psychoanalytic, or insight-oriented, approach. My focus is to help my clients help themselves through deeper self-awareness. The understanding that grows in this kind of therapy allows more emotional freedom and creates lasting changes that can improve and enrich lives while lessening symptoms.

Although the client-therapist alliance is most important in therapy, it is good to know that this type of treatment is well established and time-tested. For more scientific evidence and information about psychoanalytic psychotherapies, please visit my website and click on the Links tab.

I have post-doctoral training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and extensive knowledge in human development. In addition to private practice, I have experience assessing children and adolescents with a wide range of learning problems. This background gives me a unique perspective when evaluating emotional problems.
