Has it become harder to get out of bed and find joy, peace, and happiness throughout your daily routine and relationships? Have you noticed that the past negative experiences or trauma you have endured is controlling your present life? In times of trouble, how do you cope? Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationships can cause us to experience many different emotions on a daily basis. Each day those emotions can leave us feeling very empty and alone which can then lead us to coping in ways that prevent us from being the best versions of ourselves.

I believe who you are is not something in need of fixing. When we feel stuck or disconnected, life feels profoundly more stressful. I work with individuals who are finally ready to take that first step on their path towards self discovery or have already begun the process on their own. During our work together, my goal is to establish a meaningful relationship with a shared sense of ownership for your treatment. The greatest predictor of treatment success is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and client. I connect with my clients through empathy, compassion humor and metaphor.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Maybe your pain is new, or maybe it has been around for a long time. Maybe you’ve experienced a new trauma, or there are old traumas lingering. You might be noticing that your mind is full of anxiety, worries, and fears, with no hope to slow the thoughts down. Perhaps, you feel depressed, and as though you can't enjoy things the way that you want to. You may notice that you gravitate towards the bottle (or something else) at the end of the day. Or perhaps you find yourself unhappy in your relationship or in your family. In truth, you deserve to live a life where you are free from this pain.

As a therapist, I genuinely enjoy sitting with people and listening to their life experiences. I believe we all have a story, and I am honored when people choose to share their stories with me. I often tell people that “I may not have many answers to life's big questions; however, I have a pair of ears that will listen.” And that is my promise to you – to listen – without judgment, and with an earnest desire to journey with you through your continued self-discovery and healing process.

Let me pour you a cup of tea, and let's talk. I believe that there are not enough places in the world where a person is free to be their truly authentic self without fear of judgement. In practice, I create a safe space for my clients to access and unravel stories ingrained in the psyche. Life is too short to be held back by bad relationships, to let trauma control us or to be anxious/ angry all the time. I'm excited to get to know the real you and to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you're looking for, all while enjoying the process.

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.
