About me
I believe that people are fascinating and complex. My extensive practice of psychotherapy (over 30 years) taught me to see their struggles more as adaptations rather than pathology. Psychotherapy is based in science but it is much more than a technique and diagnosis. Here is where experience becomes crucial. I'm certain about a good result if my client is open and clear about the goals. I'm very comfortable working with mood disorders, relationship issues, traumas. I love working with couples.
There are hundreds techniques and approaches in psychotherapy. I'm trained and skilled in a number of them. Recently my field became extremely popular and a lot of people were quickly trained, developed media presence, and were giving advice and overreaching promises of cure. I offer deeper understanding and extensive skills.
Therapy can be life changing, satisfying, sometimes hard, sometimes humorous, and fun.
