Like our fingerprints, each individual is unique. I have come to understand that each individual also has a unique way of growing and changing. Let me help you find your way of feeling better. I specialize in psychotherapy for adults, couples, and adolescents. People with trouble with stress, depression, anxiety, confusion, and relationship issues seek my help.
My orientation has a foundation in humanistic and psychodynamic approaches.

Along our mysterious journey through this universe and our life, we all have the opportunity to improve ourselves.
Psychologists like myself work to help people fulfill their potential.
Life is not just about such things as depression and stress.
It is also about joys such as listening to your favorite music, seeing the face of a loved one, and making a contribution to the sometimes overwhelming process of life on Earth.
In its best form, psychotherapy provides a space in which people can sort out what is troubling them and find their own way of being happier.

Psychotherapy is a method of treating mental health problems.
Modern psychotherapy has a history of over one hundred years now, dating back to Freud.
Even before that time, people often received similar treatments by consulting with religious leaders or family elders.
I practice psychotherapy in the tradition of the humanistic and psychodynamic approaches.
The humanistic approach upholds that human beings have a natural tendency for growth and positive change.
It also assumes that, given the right environment, people who are having trouble will find creative ways of feeling better.

Depression is a syndrome in which a person feels sad, has low energy, experiences little pleasure in life, has trouble sleeping, has changes in body weight, and/or has trouble concentrating.
About 25% of women and 12% of men will experience significant depression in their lifetime.
It is important to point out that sadness is part of life.
When a person dear to us passes away, or when an important relationship ends, it is natural to feel sad.
This is not depression; it is life.
However, if one continues to be sad after a loved one's death for an extended period of time, it may indeed be called depression.

Relationships are at the heart of what it is to be human.
As babies we were all completely dependent on our caregivers.
One psychiatrist (Winnicott) has written that "there is no such thing as a baby - only a nursing couple."
In other words, at least psychologically, a baby and its caregiver can be considered to be one unit.
We all develop out of this position of dependency.
Even as adults our relationships with family, friends, and partners remain very important to how we feel about ourselves and the world.
