Stress is different for each of us. What is stressful for one person may or may not be stressful for another; each of us responds to stress in an entirely different way. When people ask this question, they usually want to know about treatment. As a therapy, psychoanalytic treatment is based on the observation that individuals are often unaware of many of the factors that determine their emotions and behavior.
These unconscious factors may create unhappiness, sometimes in the form of recognizable symptoms and at other times as troubling personality traits, difficulties in work or in love relationships, or disturbances in mood and self esteem. Because these forces are unconscious, the advice of friends and family, the reading of self help books, or even the most determined efforts of will, often.

Most change is not easy and yet I am inspired each day by the courage and motivation of my clients to challenge negative patterns, the trauma of the past, and the problematic issues of daily living.No matter what the issue is, marital difficulties, past trauma, or grief and loss the most important aspect of therapy is having a comfortable and trusting relationship with your therapist and I strive to provide that for each of my patients.

The goal of psychoanalysis is to help people create change and progress in their lives and to achieve greater joy in their life and work. The development of self-awareness/insight is a major step in achieving that progress. People make the best choices they can, given the limitations of their assumptions about themselves and their circumstances.
Psychotherapy is successful when you achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Perhaps you want relief from acute symptoms such as anxiety, anger or depression. Maybe it's breaking a cycle of unsuccessful relationships or jobs. I want to help you make the changes you struggle with-to help you start living a more satisfying life.
Much like psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic supervision is an art. It can be a transformative relationship and a valuable experience. For candidates in psychoanalytic training, supervision can be the crucial integrative experience of the candidate's education, bringing together both the didactic analytic curriculum and the personal training analysis.
