In working with many people of various ages and cultural backgrounds in the past 35 years, I have come to appreciate that each individual’s emotional and psychological challenges are unique. Therefore, in close collaboration with each client, I strive to use all my clinical training, experience, and the latest methods of psychotherapy to tailor treatment to address the particular issues of each client.
I have extensive clinical training and experience in the field of psychotherapy, and have been working with adults, children and adolescents for over 35 years. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist (MFC30570) and a Certified Jungian Analyst/Psychoanalyst.
What is Psychotherapy?
The word psychotherapy itself comes from two words, psyche, which means ‘soul’, and therapy, which comes from the Greek word therapeuein, meaning ‘to render service to’. So, psychotherapy is actually rendering service to the soul. When working with clients, I try to hold the complex psychological and cultural circumstances of the client in mind and strive to reach a deeper understanding of the particular issues that have brought that person into therapy. Along with a non-judgmental attitude of openness, acceptance, compassion, and flexibility in approach, this allows for a better attunement to your psychological needs of at the different stages of your inner work.
