Deep within each of us exists a hidden, albeit compromised,
sense of who we wished to be; family issues, trauma, separation,
and loss early in life interfere and confound that vision.

The capacity to embrace ourselves, enabling us to embrace those who love us, is the best way to ensure a life unfettered by anxiety and despair. This
seemingly simple accomplishment allows us to live in the sun, to tolerate and even grow from the inevitable joy and pain, union and loss which
accompany every life and which ironically give it meaning..

Many bright and promising people suffer from symptoms of depression, anxiety, compulsions and somatic fears which make such a happy embrace
of self and others impossible. From decades of training and treating patients, it is my conviction that Freud’s brilliant discovery of free association is
the best path to self-understanding and satisfaction.

This unique method of listening allows a highly trained clinician to hear the complex and powerful ways a person unknowingly repeats the patterns of
the past. Inviting the patient to think, talk and self-reflect foster a unique conversation and relationship which, while uncovering the secret driving
forces of the mind, allows for real change and growth to occur.
