I bring a gentle, direct, and respectful style to my work. The theoretical orientation I use is known as psychodynamic, one of the most commonly used types of psychotherapy. We often repeat painful and unproductive patterns of thinking, feeling and acting, without understanding why. Psychodynamic therapy helps you become aware of the inner forces that cause these repeated patterns, so that you can make conscious and lasting changes. I respect the need for adequate diagnosis, especially when there is a strong component of anxiety and depression involved. I work closely with psychiatrist and physicians when it is necessary. At the same time, my approach is to encourage each client to find answers within themselves. I see life’s struggles and difficult passages as opportunities to deepen one’s self-​understanding and to find new paths for self-​discovery.
