I am a contemporary psychoanalyst who practices psychoanalysis and psychotherapy with a strong relational perspective. Over the years, I have drawn on fields as varied as cognitive-behavioral therapy and Buddhist psychology to better serve patients within the context of therapy. I feel I have been especially effective working with clients who suffer from the following kinds of problems:
- Persistent Anxiety
- Depression
- Emotional Inhibition in Men
- Identity and Self-Esteem
- Sexual Trauma and Abuse
