Right now I am absorbed in a doctoral program and devote a great deal of time to studying psychoanalytic theory and practice. However, I attempt to balance my life by putting aside time for personal and leisure activities.
I have had a profound interest in understanding human behavior and emotions from the time I was in high school. Personal contact with people is important to me in my work, and I truly enjoy this part of my job.
Helping a client understand him/herself better and live life more fully is very satisfying for me.
I am respectful of personal questions, but I try to understand why my disclosure is important to the client and find a reason behind the question. Not giving a direct answer gives an opportunity for the clients to explore their own perceptions as well as the meaning behind asking the question.
The client must feel a sense of safety in the therapeutic frame and trust that what he or she says is confidential. Developing trust gives the client a safe place to explore his or her inner life.
