If you are experiencing persistent anxiety, chronic worry and unease, or the fatigue of depression that diminishes your sense of the future, you are seeking help beyond skills and advice. The distress you feel may be connected to addiction, relationship ruptures, complex trauma, long-term burnout, or the aftermath of sudden life transitions— or even relates back to moments in your childhood. I offer virtual psychoanalytic sessions to individuals across Washington, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Georgia. We begin with the unconditional welcome to speak what feels most real for you—freely, gradually, and without censorship.
Dreams, fantasies, passions, and memories. Crises, complaints, and those stagnating repetitions that always return. You are invited to read deeply into yourself and to voice the 'other scenes' that appear between the lines of daily experience. We will take what troubles you and opens its interior dimensions through the spoken encounter of each session.
This depth-oriented approach calls into question the very causes of your distress. Over time, this sustained discovery gives rise to renewed energy and singular knowledge of oneself, making possibilities for desire to be woven into your life in creative ways. If you are ready to invest in lasting change and bring new choices within reach, contact me today.

I have extensive training and experience in the domains listed here, across a many clinical settings. However, psychoanalysis is a practice that contacts what is most human inside you speaking in your symptoms, and refuses to reduce who you are to diagnostic labels.
