My ideal clients are adults and couples who want to understand themselves, not just manage symptoms. Many are high-achieving professionals, often doctors, engineers, or creative people, whose relentless intelligence has become their harshest critic. Others come because something keeps going wrong in relationships and they've run out of explanations. They are ready to look beneath the surface. I also work with gay men and the LGBTQ+ community, and with couples seeking more than communication tools. Experiential approaches, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, are available when appropriate.
I practice depth-oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy: not symptom management, but sustained inquiry into what is actually driving the patterns. My approach draws on psychoanalytic, object relations, Jungian, and relational frameworks. The work takes time. The results tend to last.
If you've done therapy before and felt like something important wasn't being reached, or if you sense that what keeps happening in your life has roots you haven't fully seen yet, I'd be glad to talk. Reach out and we can find out whether working together feels right.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and patterns that resist change. Treatment is open-ended and tailored to you. We work to understand what drives the patterns, not just manage their effects. Benefits patients describe: greater self-awareness, more satisfying relationships, less domination by the inner critic, and a clearer sense of self.

My work is depth-oriented and psychoanalytic. Sessions are unhurried and collaborative, following what is alive in the room: your patterns, memories, dreams, and what happens between us. Over time, what seemed like disconnected symptoms reveals an underlying logic. The work asks something real of you. It tends to produce change that lasts.
