As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst my focus is on your relationships with intimate others, your emotional life, your unique self, your family and work life. Our work together is in the “here and now” and examines how earlier experiences, culture, and history color your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. As such I work with real life experiences, fantasies, dreams, and wishes.
My goal is to help you heal from prior hurt, to gain insight so you can resolve stumbling blocks, and to empower you to make positive change. The hope is to create a better life and a happier love life with greater meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. The setting is private, secluded and serene, with utmost attention to your needs and desires and how to bring out the best in you.
