I see my patients first and foremost in a humanistic way as people, not simply as patients or their diagnoses. As such, I offer patients comprehensive treatment, not just from a neurobiological perspective, but also a from a humanistic one. I approach my patients with compassion, respect and a commitment to confidentiality. Some of the biggest obstacles to attainting self-awareness and self-acceptance are deeply buried feelings of guilt and shame. Working with a psychotherapist you trust, who is curious, empathic and understanding can help you expand your capacity for self-curiosity, self-awareness and self-acceptance, which in turn can help you expand your capacity to:
- examine, understand & change problematic patterns in your life
- make choices freely & actively, instead of reactively
- ultimately lead a more thoughtful, authentic & fulfilling life
My specialties include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Cancer diagnosis, treatment, living & coping with cancer
- Being a family member, friend, parent, sibling, child or caregiver of someone with cancer
- Self-confidence & self-esteem issues
- Relationship & interpersonal issues
- Existential issues (finding meaning in our lives knowing that we do not live forever)
- Issues of death & dying
My therapeutic approach weaves together traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy with a humanistic existential perspective.
