Therapy is a powerful way to improve your life,  your relationships and the way you experience the world. Effective therapy takes time and consistency. I invite each patient to commit to a minimum of once weekly sessions. Medications, if prescribed, are discussed within weekly therapy session.

    Therapy is not only about dealing with problems. It’s also about exploring potential. I divide therapeutic work into three phases, which are closely interrelated--internal, external and eternal.

    -The internal phase focuses on problems that a person experiences in their internal world, such as feeling depressed or anxious, as well as the potential within each person for healing and self-acceptance. Often early experiences in childhood and adolescence, and relationships with parents and family members have a profound effect on the way we experience our internal world.

    -The external phase focuses on problems that a person experiences in their relationships with others, such as intimate partners, parents, children and friends, as well as the potential within each person for satisfying and nurturing relationships.

    -The eternal phases focuses on questions about existence that all people encounter, such as coping with loss and taking responsibility for creating a meaningful life.
