About My Practice Most people tell me that my office is peaceful and comfortable. I encourage clients to be relaxed and open. I believe that the two of us together can learn more and solve problems more rapidly than either of us could separately. I believe that the human psyche is self-healing and simply requires support and expert guidance in a non-critical atmosphere in order to get better, to have successful life experiences, and to achieve a feeling of optimal health on all levels. Every individual is unique. Therefore the treatment approach in my office is tailor-made to the person’s special needs. Treatment may include examination of self-limiting beliefs, discussion of problems in interpersonal relationships, dream analysis, hypnosis or the learning of techniques to stabilize and heal following traumatic experiences. |
