Practice Description
In my practice, I provide counseling and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents and children. With adults I provide individual and couples therapy. My approach to therapy varies with the needs of my clients, but in general I use the principles of psychoanalysis. Working psychoanalytically, I can help people get relief from painful feelings, improve personal relationships, become more productive at work, take more pleasure from life, prevent the past from interfering with the present, end problematic patterns of behavior, gain greater control over life, unlock creative potential, understand themselves and feel understood.
Throughout the course of therapy I work with the person I'm seeing to clarify and understand, together, the nature and sources of the emotional, behavioral, and thinking difficulties that the person is having. As the person's concerns become better known to both of us, the treatment plan becomes clearer also. The purpose of treatment is to help people achieve greater emotional comfort and well being.
