As a licensed clinical psychologist I treat people with a broad spectrum of issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relational problems, trauma and PTSD, grieving and loss, and eating disorders.
I believe that people who are in emotional pain have made choices and decisions based on what they believed to be the best options available to them at the time. My collaboration with patients focuses on discovering and creating greater and more adaptive options than they previously thought possible.
People who suffer from painful emotions have difficulty identifying their feelings and trusting them as valid. The key to addressing this suffering is a patient-therapist collaboration — a two-person team searching for clues to identify unwieldy emotions, and together, create and discover new, adaptive options for dealing with them.
The following quotation from “The Four Quartets,” by T.S. Elliot, perfectly describes the process and goal of successful psychotherapy:
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
