My Approach to Helping

Maybe you feel stuck or at a loss, or frustrated that the same painful things keep happening over and over, despite your best efforts and intentions to change them. This might leave you feeling frustrated, even hopeless. Please, know that there is help available. Reaching out for help can be a difficult threshold to cross. But as you have come here, you have already taken the first step into a space where your life, your relationships can open up in a new light. It is with passion and dedication that I help children, teens, and adults get \'unstuck,\' so that they can start moving towards the life they want: gaining a little more satisfaction and joy along the way. Do not wait any longer to reach out: I want to hear your story.

Educated and trained in both Europe and the US, I continue my formation in the field on a national and international level.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

As a psychoanalyst I am trained to listen beyond prejudice to what is unique and singular in what you say. This allows for a special kind of encounter that may help produce a shift: Something new may become possible. Life may be lived a little more lightly.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

Being able to engage in your life and in your relationships with a certain lightness, with more joy and satisfaction.

My Role as a Therapist

People reach out to a therapist when they are in a personal crisis. What used to work is not working anymore, what used to bring them satisfaction and joy has disappeared. Symptoms have become unbearable, intolerable. It is my task as a therapist to listen in a new way to the person. By listening to that what has never been heard before, things start to change in the person's life, start to 'move,' and 'get unstuck.'
