I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy. This kind of therapy helps partly by understanding the emotional causes of symptoms and problems, like depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and personality issues. This kind of therapy also stresses the positive impact that the therapeutic relationship can have on other relationships. I learned this approach to therapy during several years of training and working at Cambridge Hospital and at Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, both in Massachusetts. The usefulness of this treatment approach has been validated by research and by about a century of practice. It has helped countless numbers of people live happier, more fulfilled lives. I usually see patients once or twice per week, for between 6 months and one year or longer. Psychodynamic therapy stresses the importance of active self-reflection and the fact that change takes time. The stronger the person's commitment to change, the more they improve. One of my specialities is treating addictions, like drinking, drug use, gambling, internet addiction, etc. I have much experience successfully treating addictions, including counseling people with substance abuse problems in a treatment program for 4 years.
