ABOUT ME: I consider myself a generalist and work with people of all ages facing many types of difficulties. I believe that our mental health "symptoms" are often our psyche's way of calling us to a different way of living. My role as psychologist is to help patients clarify feelings and values that will allow them to make changes that will lead to more authentic living.
