Welcome

Illness, pain or disability got you depressed?

Many scientific studies have shown that psychological treatment improves quality of life, and in some cases, seems to prolong it. Combining knowledge gained from my medical background, my specialized psychotherapy training, and my personal experiences with illness, I have developed my own holistic approach, without the use of antidepressants or tranquilizers.

Do you or someone you know suffer from illness or disability stress? Your illness might cause symptoms (e.g. colitis),worries (e.g. MS), embarassment (e.g. ostomy, disfigurement), limitations (e.g. paralysis), fears (e.g. Hepatitis C). View a list of medical conditions I can help you deal with.

Please note that I do not consider depression or anxiety to be chronic organic illnesses; they are emotional reactions. If you do not have a physical disability or disease such as the ones listed under Medical Conditions, this program is not for you.

Why should you come to me?
Best results are achieved when physical and psychological treatments are combined.  Depression can be eliminated, even though the illness is chronic.  If you are coping well, psychotherapy now can prevent future emotional problems.
