I believe that we all have the innate power to change our own lives. To do this, we need to understand, accept and make peace with our past, and realize that it does not control us. We live right now. Regardless of what has come before, we have choices now, and the choices we make today create who we become tomorrow.

Have you finished other therapies (by 'graduating,' leaving, or 'failing out'), without lasting change? Have you never felt safe to remove your masks even in therapy, or you can't tell the difference between you and the masks? Have you struggled to experience another person truly understanding you, or even genuinely making the effort? These experiences may involve questions about sense of self and identity (including personality), which many therapies do not meaningfully understand or address. They often come out as depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns, but with a different root cause. And missing the cause keeps us stuck.

I bring gentleness, humor, and warmth to my work, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. I am skilled in helping folks navigate life transitions or crossroads, whether they are facing career changes, shifts in relationships, identity exploration, or personal reinvention. A population that I do well with are those who self-identify as highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent. I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with having a brain that processes information differently, and I offer a therapeutic space that is validating and intuitive.

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.
