Hi, I’m Klaus

I am psychodynamically oriented, which means I help clients to resolve their underlying issues, rather than only treating signs and symptoms. I believe most of our problems stem from our early childhood experiences, which have been reinforced a number of times over the years. While most people can control their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors to some extent, if the underlying issues are still present, they tend to resurface and cause more grief each time, thus making them feel a lot worse than previously.
