Very experienced work in individuals and families. Superb training in both psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches and trained in OCD and mood disorders. Active in integrative approaches and wellness. My work with individuals takes into account the persons world view and how this impacts how they feel about themselves and others. COVID isolation for many has brought to the surface underlying that are best resolved by someone who knows what works and what doesn't.
