People live the best lives they can without the help of a professional until they find that they have problems that they no longer can or want to deal with on their own. I work with such people. They struggle with feelings (anxiety, depression, and anger), with relationships, with changes in life and with attaining their goals. In my experience I have developed a great respect for people who seek to improve their lives through psychotherapy, a process which can be very challenging and very rewarding.

I view the therapeutic relationship as crucial in understanding the difficulties experienced by the people with whom I work and I aim to create an environment in which my clients feel comfortable exploring their lives and the historical roots of their problems.

It is my belief that a good client-therapist relationship is crucial.
