I
am an experienced clinician. I have
worked successfully with a wide range of patients and keep a diverse practice
because I highly value the experience of working with people from different
backgrounds and lifestyles. Over the
years I have collaborated with patients to help them gain mastery over issues
ranging from anxiety to low self-image, from addiction to relationship
problems, and many other issues as well.
Younger and older patients of both genders and all sexual orientations
have spent time in my office diligently working towards their goals. When people enter psychotherapy they want to
make changes and I take that striving very seriously.
My
approach depends on the patient with whom I am working, but a belief I always
hold is that people heal and change when they cultivate a healthy internal
voice that can guide them through the challenges of their past, present, and
future.
Some
very personal things are talked about in therapy and I feel it is important
that a patient feel safe to talk about such things. Therefore, a patient should talk about
personal material only when they decide they are ready and that patient and
therapist should work together to make the space safe for such
conversations. It’s important to respect
the boundaries each patient brings to this work.
