Therapist Overview
Above all, my over three decades of professional experience has taught me that central to one’s sense of happiness and well being is the nature and quality of her or his human relationships. As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I am guided by this truth as I work with my clients. I believe that our problems and concerns, such as depression anxiety, relationship troubles, addictions, or just a sense of not feeling “right” are largely due to the ways our significant relationships have either supported or impeded our natural tendency toward self-fulfillment and personal well being. Therapy is about establishing a safe and trusting human relationship that allows one to have his/her thoughts and feelings and begin to understand them in a way that has not yet been possible. In doing so, one can then begin to experience him/herself as more authentic and alive, and start living a more personally/interpersonally fulfilling and happy life.
