Personal Statement

I believe that mental health is a vital component in creating a complete and satisfying experience of personhood. It’s as important to take care of your inner life and psychological well-being as it is to take care of your physical health.

I feel that every individual is unique, and therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique. For counseling to be effective, it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. The key ingredient for successful results in psychotherapy is a strong relationship between you and your therapist.

If you decide after reading this to contact me for an appointment, I want you to know that I am first and foremost honored to be invited into your life and given an opportunity to work with you. You will decide whether I’m a good match for your needs, and hopefully, some of the information here will help you decide whether to make an initial consultation.

Psychoanalysis is often sought for resolution of deeper, more long-standing inner conflicts and psychological problems. As a trained analyst, I bring current psychoanalytic concepts into all therapy experience; however, I'm very comfortable with both treatment styles.
