Personal Statement
I have extensive experience and have worked with a wide variety of adults of different ages, cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Some examples of clients and situations I have worked with include:*Men and women who feel lonely, misunderstood,"stuck" at work, or unhappy in a relationship. I assist them to discover lasting solutions to repetitive problems; so that they can achieve success, harmony and satisfaction and enhance their emotional well-being.
*Adults of all ages who are confused, overwhelmed, or doubtful -with my help become clearer, more proactive and effective. They learn to make the necessary changes and adjustments so that they can successfully face the challenges that stand in front of them and improve their life situations.
*Helping couples communicate better, stop blaming each other, figure out what went wrong and how to make it right again. By developing understanding, trust, mutual respect and tolerance for their differences, compatibility and marital satisfaction is greatly enhanced.
*Helping people recover from painful losses such as relationship break-ups, separation/divorce as well as deaths, relocations and involuntary career changes.
*Helping couples and individuals with various sexual problems, both his and hers.
I enjoy my work and derive great satisfaction from deeply connecting with people. I believe that psychotherapy is a very special process-an important investment that you put in yourself or your relationship, not a technical procedure. Therefore,it is essential for me to create a safe place, where your authentic self emerges and strives. My vast experience allows me to tailor each therapy, using the approach and technique that is best suited for you.
While working toward overcoming the present issue, my ultimate goal is that you learn from this experience and gain knowledge about yourself beyond the initial problem that brought you to my office. My focus is on the here and now, with an emphasis toward the future. The insight that you'll acquire will allow you to function better, feel more empowered, have improved relationships, increased satisfaction, success and joy long after therapy is over.
My style is nurturing, interactive, and dynamic. I speak openly and directly. I provide structure, give honest feedback and assignment to do at home when necessary. With my support, you will overcome emotional barriers, avoid repeating the same patterns, maximize your potential, attain optimal functioning and fulfill your dreams.
I encourage you to call me in order to get a better sense of who I am, of my professional style and most important to begin your road to becoming a happier more fulfilled you!
