Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment that can address symptoms, behaviors, or general problems in living or relating to others. The curative aspect of psychotherapy can be viewed as cessation of symptoms, change in behavior, better adjustment to life and more satisfying relationships. Problems and their solutions might require a few consultations or more in-depth open-ended work. Anyone at any point can benefit from psychotherapy.

 

It is through emotional links that we are able to relate to other people but also to parts of ourselves. Psychotherapy offers a safe place to consider one’s limits and resources and create new meanings about self and others.

I provide individual treatment to cancer patients and helping them cope with cancer related problems at any stage of diagnosis, illness, treatment and recovery.  Most cancer patients face fear, loss of control, grief, hopelessness, fear of death and many other very difficult emotions.

Working one-on-one in psychotherapy is like establishing a new, healing relationship that will address your problems in unique ways.  We will work together to bring about change through understanding what stands in the way of being a more successful and fulfilled person.

I believe that what makes us unique is our ability to feel: i.e. engage our thoughts about internal or external affective stimuli and transform them into something of emotional significance.  Often thoughts are privileged over feelings.
