About

The therapeutic relationship is crucial to the healing process, whether the problem is with external relationships, traumatic experience, or one's relationship with the self. I use psychoanalytic principles and relational dynamics to explore the internal conflicts and patterns that are at the root of emotional, psychological and relational problems. I am also sensitive to spirituality and the existential problems inherent in being human, and how these affect us all. I have a special interest in the psychology of twins and intersubjective relating in general.

I help people know themselves better, even what is usually unconscious, to better deal with what is blocking them from healing or engaging in satisfying relationships. I have much experience with health problems and can assist people in developing healthy lifestyle, diet, etc and to recover from illness. Also, spiritual development, families, couples

Many people feel scared or ashamed to reach out for help, but it is often the most courageous and life-changing thing we can do. I can help you see a new perspective to break out of patterns of self-relating and relationships that are not functioning well for you. I can help with all kinds of addictions, existential crises, grief, abuse, eating disorders
