For me, psychotherapy is offering patience, understanding, insight, relationship, and a secure base to persons suffering from burdens too heavy to carry alone. I compare myself to a container into which my patients pour their unbearable feelings. My task is to detoxify these feelings and make them easier to understand and tolerate. I help my patients to use healthy relationships with others to meet their emotional needs and the emotional needs of others. I am trained to work with children as well as adults. My areas of expertise with children include disruptive behavior disorders, attachment disorders, and depression and anxiety. My areas of expertise with adults include severe personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder; sexual dysfunction; sex addiction and codependency; sex and attachment difficulties; and depression and anxiety.
