I am a bilingual psychotherapist with dual degree and over 35 years of practice in two different countries. Luckily, my profession is a source of passion and infinite curiosity about people. Because of years of experience, I feel at ease treating a variety of problems - relational/interpersonal, self- esteem and body issues, depression/mood disorders, various anxiety disorders (including OCD and phobias), etc.
Though I was trained in psychodynamic tradition, my approach draws from neurobiology, mind-body connection, attachment theory, and deep appreciation for complexity of human psyche. Since there is no cooky cutter treatment, I use variety of techniques and a nonlinear style. I believe that medications can be helpful and, in some cases, are necessary but they don't solve problems. I always focus on giving the client effective coping skills.
I believe that therapy is hard work for the client but it shouldn't be overwhelming. We keep the eye on the goal. My sessions are focused and structured. There is a place for humor and some fun too.
