Training

•  I trained in the field of behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy.

•  Later I trained in family therapy.

•  Finally I became an adult, adolescent, and child psychoanalyst.

•  I honor all traditions of healing.  I believe that the deepest understanding and change comes from knowing oneself better, being able to think self-reflectively, and experiencing oneself differently through working with another person who is a trained professional.
