With over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I help people listen to their inner voice and develop self-knowledge to find the path that feels right for them. I believe each person is unique, with their own biology, neurology, family history, and culture.
With over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I aim to help people listen to their inner voice.
I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can learn about themselves, find their best path forward, and achieve their goals.
First session
The first session is an opportunity for you to get to know me and understand my approach. During this session, feel free to ask questions. We will have a session together to determine whether my style is a good fit for you. Numerous studies indicate that the compatibility between a client and therapist significantly impacts the client's ability to address their issues and make chabges.
Strengths
One of the most critical issues is ensuring that clients feel safe enough to explore their struggles. My strengths include empathy and a non-judgmental attitude, which help me work effectively with individuals to achieve their goals. Over the years, I have benefited from many great mentors and have gained valuable insights into mental health issues. I enjoy helping clients understand their problems through psychoeducation, while also encouraging them to learn about themselves and trust their inner wisdom.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, from young children to older adults, addressing a wide range of issues. I help clients explore their struggles and work on them in a nonjudgmental manner. I am grateful that I have had the chance to work with such a wide variety of situations. I enjoy seeing most people in their situations.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
The focus is on helping clients address current struggles by exploring how past experiences have contributed to these issues. Help the client work through and express emotions to see they may not need to use ways of coping in the past;
Couples Counseling
I employ an empathetic approach to couples counseling, focusing on fostering deep understanding and connection between partners. My practice centers on exploring unmet needs and relationship irritants, examining their individual meanings and impact on the couple's dynamic.
Play Therapy
This can be done with either the parent or child, individually. Games, drawing, writing, or any expressive tools can be utilized. The main focus is to identify themes within the play and discuss them with the children, exploring how these themes relate to relevant issues.
Mind-body approach
Clients actively engage in becoming present and acknowledging discomfort. Through this process, they gain a heightened awareness of challenges, which facilitates their journey toward more fulfilling and satisfying results.
