    Existential, Narrative, and Brain-Based Therapy for Individual Adults and Couples

    Existential, Narrative and Brain-Based Therapies stand on the premise that we do the best we can under the societal structure and social conditions we are in.

In my therapy practice, the aim is to develop the capacity to stay centered within the natural and self- imposed limits of living.
