It's not easy to put yourself out there, especially to someone you don't know. So humble respect for getting here. Those that find me and feel like it is a good fit are looking for someone who can see and challenge them with compassion. Some of the questions that are spoken and unspoken in therapy with me are: How can I both accept myself and change in the ways I feel like I want to? I feel like I know what the problem is but it doesn't seem to help! You wish to feel at home in yourself and your life but you don't. Your experience may be unknown to yourself or never seen by another. It's healthy to not be satisfied with this.
My style of work is psychoanalytic, creative, and bilingual. I have served as a psychotherapist for 8 years; studied psychoanalytic theories and practices for at least 6 years; mindfulness meditation for 20 years; and currently in formal adult and child psychoanalytic training. I am licensed to work in NY, NJ, PA, and WA; in person as well as telehealth.
Moving towards your own joy and vitality is the goal. Sometimes this might mean more frequent support which I have experience with as a psychoanalytic practitioner. Uncovering the unconscious forgotten past of our own experience has a way of building self-compassion and capacity to trust and share intimacy with others. If this resonates, take the leap.
