I am a clinical psychologist with a psychodynamic orientation, and also have training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I work with patients experiencing difficulties in different domains of life. I also treat patients who have a diagnosis of mental illness, including depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychotic disorders.  I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist, with a specialty in trauma. Trauma is often not just one major event, but also the cumulative effect of both severe and more subtle traumas over a lifetime, ranging from emotional deprivation, bullying, and verbal abuse to rejections and perceived failures. Since I believe that trauma contributes to most issues, I work with a broad range of patients, including those struggling with interpersonal problems, having difficulty reaching personal and professional goals, or lacking confidence and positive self-image.
