Throughout my 11+ years practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have found that whether folks are coming to therapy for the first or fifth time, that being my genuine self has brought others at ease during our time together.

Who do you turn to when your partner has stopped acknowledging, considering, or appreciating you? When you’re afraid that you won’t get the kind of love you need? Or the kind of respect you crave from your family or partner? Do you notice that the more you try to achieve these things, you feel more distant? Maybe there’s a recent change in your family that you didn’t see coming. You want to stay emotionally connected with them but you notice yourself drifting away. You desperately want a deep connection, to know you’re doing the right thing.

Many of the clients we work with feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns, carrying unresolved grief, anxiety, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves and others. There is often a deeper longing to understand what lies beneath these struggles and to live with greater authenticity, vitality, and meaning, rather than simply coping or pushing through. Together, we will create space to slow down and gently explore the patterns shaping your inner and relational world, opening the possibility for more freedom, connection, and a life that feels fully your own.

I have completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and I am currently offering psychoanalysis as a psychoanalytic candidate.
You want to live a full, vital, creative life, but something is in the way. Maybe you feel anxious or down, or you find yourself in the same relational patterns again and again, or you feel tangled up in your relationship with food and your body. Maybe you are grappling with a loss or life transition, or struggling with traumas that continue to reverberate. Perhaps everything feels like a mess. You may not be sure how to get there, but you hope for change within yourself that is meaningful, and lasts - something more than a "band-aid" approach.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or depression as the result of a major life change? Life changes can be exciting: new job, recent marriage, birth of a child. Life changes can also be terrifying: loss of job, divorce, death of a loved one. You may initiate some life changes: planned retirement, move to another city or another country. Other life changes seem to force themselves upon you: a toxic relationship with a loved one that is no longer acceptable, unexpected injury, loved one that has betrayed your trust.

Every day you do your best. This is belief is at the core of my clinical practice. Every day I see you work, make small steps and try your hardest. As humans it is often easier to criticize our deficits rather than applaud our gains. Especially as a trauma survivor or mental health warrior, some days it may take you 100 times more energy to simply 'try'. Through assessments and discussions, together we will build an ongoing supportive treatment plan that will help you build and congratulate yourself on a passionate pursuit of short or long-term goals.

We all need help sometimes. This help often comes from family members and friends, but sometimes we need a different type of help - help that comes from someone who prioritizes your growth, values, and perspective. Someone who can listen without judging, see your strengths and help you build upon them. Someone who can help you write your own story and teach you strategies to deal with troubling thoughts or feelings. Someone who can help you through a stressful or traumatic situation. Someone who gets to know you, and then challenges some of the ways you've been doing things.

You may feel stuck — repeating the same struggles without fully understanding why. These patterns might show up in your relationships, your work, or how you see yourself. Beneath the surface, you may feel torn between conflicting parts of yourself, weighed down by anxiety or shame. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found some relief, but not the lasting change you were hoping for. In our work together, I’ll help you understand the deeper patterns and unconscious dynamics that keep you feeling trapped — so you can finally move toward a more grounded, authentic sense of self.

Therapy is a space to slow down and be honest about what you’ve been through, the pain you’ve carried, and the parts of you still trying to heal. My goal is to create a safe, grounded space where you can feel heard, seen, and supported at your own pace. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns that shaped you, not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion. We’ll pay attention not only to your thoughts and emotions, but also to how your body has learned to respond to stress, fear, or overwhelm. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about reconnecting with who you are beneath the survival strategies.

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.
