Welcome. This web site is designed to address some of the most common questions people have about psychotherapy.
To give you a sense of how I work, here are a few principles I hold foremost in my approach.
Support, Warmth and Respect
I strive to provide a warm and supportive environment to assist my patients in the process of opening up. I do so by maintaining an attitude of curiosity, empathy, open-mindedness, and respect.
Perspective
I do not presume I have all the answers, but I do have the luxury of perspective. When appropriate, I will share my perspective without expecting my patients to agree with my ideas.
Collaboration
I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration between patient and therapist where we can potentially discuss anything: ideas, feelings, hopes, goals and solutions.
As you browse the site, you will find additional information about psychotherapy and about my work. I also welcome your questions, so feel free to contact me directly.
