Now accepting clients in FL and MA! I primarily offer psychotherapy and integrate medications and other interventions as needed. I work with clients that often experience feeling externally functional but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can't quite understand. I help clients slow down, listen more deeply to their inner and unconscious worlds, and make sense of how their histories, relationships, and patterns of being shape the present so they can move forward with greater clarity, compassion, and self-understanding.

My ideal clients are adults, adolescents, and children who feel stuck — people who have struggled with trauma, treatment-resistant conditions, or complex diagnoses like ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders and haven't found the help they need. Many come feeling dismissed or discouraged by previous care, wondering if anything will actually work. They want someone who will take the time to truly understand them — not just their symptoms, but their full story. I offer telehealth care in Massachusetts and Connecticut to meet people where they are, both geographically and emotionally.

Psychoanalytic Psychiatrists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
