My Background


My Background


I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. I have advanced training in in-depth psychotherapy and am currently undertaking more training in psychoanalysis - one of the most rigorous, selective and comprehensive trainings that a clinician can undertake. Primarily, I treat individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, nonsocial partners, life-changing transitions, relationship problems, empty-nest syndrome, and loss.
