Approach

Treatment Approaches
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

My approach is psychodynamic . In these tumultuous times previous events in one’s life may aggravate the problems one’s face but they are quite often not the critical focus . The present situation is what is of foremost importance . I hope to provide a good listening ear to help you find your truths strive to earn them and help you keep your head up
