His therapeutic orientation is integrative with strong foundations in psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, and Jungian perspectives. He utilizes different approaches and techniques, adapted to your particular needs. All approaches are based on the principle that greater understanding and acceptance of one’s self comes from gaining understanding of one’s thoughts, feelings, and actions and making changes in each area can lead to modifying or eliminating problematic symptoms, or life patterns. Each therapy situation is unique to those who participate in it, and your therapy will be a collaborative effort resulting from what we do together.
