Welcome
Are you struggling in some way? Is some area of your life not going well? If so, psychotherapy (also referred to as therapy, counseling) may help. Please look around this site and see if my approach to psychotherapy and helping people seems like it makes sense and is a good fit for you. Many others over the years have come in and found help for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The following quote is a nice summary of the type of therapy I practice (it is sometimes referred to as psychoanalytic therapy): …the bottom line is that patients want to and need to be listened to. They want a therapist who can listen to them in depth… That is what we offer: We listen to people in depth, over an extended period of time and with great intensity. We listen to what they say and to what they don’t say; to what they say in words and to what they say through their bodies and enactments. And we listen to them by listening to ourselves, to our minds, our reveries, and our own bodily reactions. We listen to their life stories and to the story that they live with us in the room; their past, their present, and future. We listen to what they already know or can see about themselves, and we listen to what they can’t see in themselves. We listen to ourselves listening. Psychoanalysis is a depth psychology, which means that we listen in depth… Whatever managed care says, and whatever drugs are prescribed, and whatever the research findings, people still want to be listened to in depth and always will. That’s why there will always be patients who want and need an analytic approach… (Lewis Aron, Psychoanalytic Psychology, 2009). To schedule an appointment call (972) 934-1485
