I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.

My approach is to not only develop a warm relationship with every client, based on trust, honesty, and understanding; but to also apply treatment methods that work and help improve your quality of life.

Most people who are looking for a therapist are searching for an ally and someone who can help them get relief as soon as possible. I work with every client to develop attainable goals and bring about the change you have been looking for.
