We all have patterns of thoughts, behaviors and emotions that keep us trapped. Some of us may be stuck in a downward spiral of depression, anxiety and mood disturbance. Others create walls to keep themselves safe but ultimately shut out those they care about or are left feeling distant from themselves. Many of us find ourselves trapped on a hamster wheel, challenged to slow down or get off. Still others find themselves recreating familiar, unfulfilling dynamics with loved ones or colleagues. We'll work together to understand these dynamics, set goals for how you'd like to change and help you create a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Relationships often have the biggest effect on the quality of our lives. So it makes sense that they're the main reason most people come to therapy. Many of my clients want to build close, happy relationships without giving up their boundaries. Keeping relationships healthy can be confusing, especially if you've dealt with conflict, emotional neglect, or trauma in the past. My goal is to help you leave each session understanding how to handle relationships better, why you keep falling into the same unhelpful patterns, and what you truly want and need.

I work with adults who feel emotionally intense, chronically misunderstood, or like they keep circling back to the same place no matter how hard they try to move forward. I hold particular care for those carrying trauma, for BIPOC clients, and for veterans, including the parts of those experiences I've lived and navigated myself.

I specialize in working with thoughtful, introspective adults who often feel misunderstood or have spent years trying to understand themselves without finding lasting answers. Many are navigating trauma, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, chronic self-doubt, or recurring patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is collaborative, relational, and insight-oriented. If you're looking for a therapist to simply tell you what to do, we may not be the best fit. If you're looking to better understand yourself, explore deeper patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change over time, my approach may be a good fit for you.

I believe all psychological symptoms serve a function, such as regulating emotions, avoiding distress, or maintaining interpersonal connections. In therapy, we will identify the functions of your symptoms and find healthier ways for you to meet your needs. This often involves exploring the interpersonal contexts in which your symptoms developed and are maintained. In this way, we will identify what's getting you stuck and make way for you to have new emotional and interpersonal experiences. My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, curious, and empathic.

You’re doing everything you can, and somehow... it still feels like too much.
When the weight of life becomes too much to carry alone, therapy can offer a quiet place to breathe and begin again. Whether it’s the fog of depression, the edge of anxiety, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—something in you is asking for care, not judgment. I work with individuals who often appear strong on the outside but feel worn down within. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of the chaos, and begin to uncover what’s been buried or ignored. You don’t have to keep going this way.

My approach blends psychoanalytic insight with practical support.
I help people slow down and take a deeper look at the patterns shaping their lives. My work focuses especially on addiction, emotional struggles, and relationship difficulties. Together, we explore both the immediate challenges you're facing and the deeper forces—often outside of awareness—that influence your thoughts, feelings, and decisions.

Have you had a recent transition or life events lately that feels like it has thrown you or your relationship off? In my work I strive to think about the best ways to support big transitions (whether that is a break up, divorce, trauma or having a baby) that can make you feel a loss of control. I can help you ground back into yourself, find your most authentic self and support you in building a skill set for future life challenges. Also, if you have just had a baby and are experiencing the transition to motherhood as different than what was expected or then is portrayed as on social media, I can help support you.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

You may be doing your best to hold everything together on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, struggling with ADHD, relationship or mood challenges, questions about your identity, or the pressure of balancing different cultural expectations. You may be exhausted from trying to figure it all out on your own and unsure of what needs to change. Please know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy can be a space to make sense of what you’re experiencing, understand yourself more deeply, and find a clearer path forward.

My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and trauma-informed practice.
You may be carrying experiences that feel too heavy to name—trauma, loss, rage, or a sense that something fundamental is broken. Maybe you've tried to 'fix' these problems before, or you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together. I work with people who are ready to do more than just manage symptoms; together, we make space for radically new ways of being to emerge.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
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.
