I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, including many in academic, scientific, and other intellectually demanding fields. My goal is to help clients understand the patterns in relationships, self-perception, and behavior that underlie their distress, with the aim of producing positive change.
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy: in-depth, exploratory work. I bring clinical training in psychiatry and a PhD in neuroscience, with experience treating academics and other high-achieving professionals facing anxiety, transitions, and self-doubt.
Therapy works best when it feels collaborative. If you are considering psychodynamic psychotherapy and want to find out whether we would be a good fit, I welcome an initial conversation.
