THERAPY SERVICES
Whether I am working with individuals, couples, adolescents or their families, I offer clients a deep respect for the immediate urgencies of their lives and a well-seasoned background in contemporary depth-psychotherapy. I work to help clients recognize the underlying forces that shape – and constrict – their lives and to empower clients to break out of the self-limiting eddies in which they are caught.

Not knowing the source of these powerful forces, or how to release oneself from their spell, can lead to disruption and suffering in one’s emotional life, physical health and intimate relationships. Often when people come to understand and accept the emotional (and behavioral) strategies they needed to devise to protect their vulnerabilities, they can then begin to risk creating new possibilities where none existed before.

Since every relationship, like a signature, is unique, therapist and client can never know precisely what psychological terrain they will encounter as a treatment unfolds. In a very real way, both take a leap of faith into the unknown when they enter into a therapy relationship. Whatever the starting point of a therapy, I strive to convey an on-going sense of what it feels like for each client to be human while longing to become more fully human.
