I believe that most people are inherently able to be happy and be at peace with themselves. Yet, many struggle to maintain that attitude. It happens because various feelings and thoughts that are echoes of past traumatic experiences, interfere in dealing with current problems and create a mood of dejection and/or paralysis. I practice the type of therapy that involves identifying and taming inner forces that meddle with emotional well-being and healthy relationships. As a therapist, I help my patients to prevent impending emotional or interpersonal crisis, or to find a way out of the crisis if it has already flared up. Therapy helps to highlight internal dilemmas negatively influencing people's emotional functioning. When therapy is effective, people start making better choices and modify old patterns of feeling and behaving. Over time, one's life progresses in a healthier and more satisfying direction. This is a realistic, time-proven strategy, free from gimmicks and illu I have been working with adults, adolescents, and couples for over 20 years helping them to deal with depression, anxiety, relationship problems (including parenting issues,) and various life crises. I also conduct psychological testing to highlight one's cognitive and emotional makeup as it is related to presenting issues.
