Modalities:
Insight oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy examines the patient′s past and⁄or can remain firmly rooted in the present. The intention is to transform behaviors to support more positive feelings and a more productive personal and professional life. This work can be richly layered and explorative and can also be very pragmatic and solutions oriented.
Couples counseling is highly interactive and is intended to be short term. The goal is overcome obstacles to communication and to identify ways for the couple to better support their relationship. The intention is to stay in the present while recognizing that past experiences may influence the couple’s current dynamic. Relationship counseling can also help individuals in forming more enduring and productive relationships both in their personal and work lives.

What My Clients Say:
Paul′s presence has a power that is palpable. In his office, I have felt freer to express myself — to say that which is the hardest to say — than in any other setting. The reason is that he listens, understands, and respects in a way that is total, not partial.
You feel you can say things that you might ever be afraid to say to yourself. During our sessions I felt life losing its edge. Crises became mere problems; challenges, mere errands; the impossible melted into the mere difficult.
