It may look like you have it together on the outside — but internally feel exhausted, anxious, stuck, or disconnected.
Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning and self-aware. They can articulate their values and goals. But when it comes to actually changing patterns, they feel blocked. Some have experienced obvious trauma, where others grew up learning to minimize their needs, stay strong, or take on more than was theirs to carry. Over time, those patterns can turn into anxiety, self-criticism, shame, or difficulty knowing who you are. In therapy, we focus on closing the gap between insight and action

I work with adults who tend to take on a lot and keep things running, even when it comes at a personal cost. From the outside, they often appear capable and put-together, but internally they may feel strained, restless, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I see are doing well in their careers or relationships, yet still have a sense that something important is missing, subdued, or under pressure beneath the surface. They often reach out when insight alone hasn’t created the relief they were hoping for, or when they’re tired of maintaining appearances while feeling like something deeper inside begs to be seen.

Do you notice you get frustrated easily? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship, job or an old pattern of thinking? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions such as anger, irritation or anxiety? Many people come to me when they feel at a loss and have a desire to numb, withdraw or act out. Seeking support is the first step toward feeling better. I enjoy working with individuals who find it difficult managing their anxiety and stress leading to feelings of anger and isolation, or having trouble in relationships due to an inability to communicate their internal experience.

Whether life's current stressors are getting in your way or mental health concerns need support, I provide a compassionate alliance to help you move in the direction that best serves you. Along with sound knowledge of human behavior, I bring warmth and positive regard to the collaborative relationship based on trust and confidentiality.

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.
