The quest for safe, nurturing, loving connection serves a fundamental need that many of us can spend our entire lives striving to meet. The challenge to connect often brings a range of intense emotions, including anxiety, anger, shame, sadness and disappointment. Such emotions run counter to what one is actively yearning for: to be loved, to love, to care and to be cared for. I welcome individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and experiences who want to enhance personal well-being and build their capacity for loving relationships. My work with an individual client centers on illuminating that person’s life vision and understanding the abiding obstacles to change: these may include intrusive negative thinking and habitual problem behaviors. As a systemic therapist my couples work involves the co-creation of mutual language based on respect, love and validation. My career as a physician, although rewarding, often shifts one’s limited time and focus to the immediate medical demands of health and disease. We are so much more complex than this. For this reason, I love my therapy work; it allows me the time to learn deeply with my clients about their most heartfelt concerns. I can help. Let us begin the journey.
