Active listening creates a solid foundation for giving informed feedback. You will notice that I paraphrase a lot of what you say, until you are convinced that I “get it.” Once that is established, I will begin to put a new “spin” on what you have been telling me. Because you need not only confirmation, but also new frameworks for seeing things differently, and you need challenges.

If you want to assess whether therapy has helped you, ask yourself the following questions: have you become more direct, authentic, and courageous? Have you become less self-centered, resentful, and passive-aggressive? Are you complaining less about unfairness, and focusing more on what you need to do to improve your situation? Is your attitude becoming more positive? Are you starting to look forward to things as challenges rather than dreading and avoiding? Are you having more fun in your life?

My approach draws on techniques from depth psychology, social psychology, behavioral therapy, narrative therapy. Empathy is my strongest tool as well as the goal of therapy.

If you need medication, or if you need a doctor’s note, you are better served by a psychiatrist. As a psychologist I treat social anxiety, relationship issues (work and personal), loss, motivation problems, inferiority complexes, and crises of meaning.
