A note from Donald
As a highly experienced therapist with over 36 years of practice, I offer empathic and caring support to individuals and couples seeking to improve their lives. My approach is personalized to each client, carefully choosing from a range of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and family therapy, among others. When appropriate, dream and hypnotherapy can also be incorporated to enhance the therapeutic journey. In my professional practice, I have successfully treated various conditions, including anxiety, depression, family trauma, addiction, ADHD, and workplace disputes. My ultimate goal is to empower clients to find meaningful solutions to life's challenges, knowing that they will have my unwavering support every step of the way.
