Personal Statement :
        In-depth individual psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and couples therapy are the services I offer. In the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach I use, we explore with deep respect the meaning of your thoughts, feelings, memories and dreams. Experience and research has shown this method to have more comprehensive and lasting benefits and to enable growth to continue even after treatment ends (see Science Daily, Jan, 27 2010 summary). The treatment works by increasing self awareness as well as by experiencing new ways of relating to yourself and others. One takes away the freedom to feel and act differently as well as the resources to address future psychological challenges.   My office is in downtown Saratoga, a suburb of San Jose.  It is easily reached from Highway 85 or 17.
