My areas of speciality include working with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as helping people navigate the stressors of major life transitions. I also have experience with gender and sexuality related matters, and improving people's relationships both to themselves and others.
My goal as a therapist is to help you uncover your potential so that you can live your best life - whatever that means to you. My technique is psychodynamic/analytic, which means that I ask a lot of questions about what you have experienced. I do this so that together we can understand what meaning you make out of it all. While we cannot change the past, I do believe that with therapy we can use our present to change the future through deeper understanding of why we do what we do.
I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere in which we can explore the problematic areas of your life. I hope that after an initial session with me, my clients will feel that they are being listened to and taken seriously in a way they may rarely, if ever, been treated before. In order for therapy to be effective, I believe that trust has to be established - and the first session can be a great indicator about the potential bond that may develop and strengthen over the course of our work together.
