Perhaps a loss, heartbreak, or impending change has you shaken. Maybe you have checked all the boxes and reached all the milestones but still feel the dull ache of something missing. Maybe you feel stuck at work, or alone, even in your relationships. Choosing a therapist isn't easy but research consistently shows that the therapist-client relationship is central in determining the effectiveness of therapy. As a graduate psychoanalyst, I have had extensive training and experience in understanding how to harness the power of the therapy relationship to effect the greatest relief from suffering and promote the greatest growth.
Each person's suffering is unique and therapy should not be one-size-fits-all. I offer a holistic, collaborative, and integrative approach to treatment. Together we will look closely at your present situation, and, as needed, at your personal history, to develop a deep understanding of what is troubling you and what might be the best path to relief.
Whether you are hoping to solve a specific problem by meeting a few times or are seeking to address longstanding entrenched problems, I am committed to engaging with you in a compassionate and disciplined way to help you feel better and lead a fuller life. Feel free to call or email so we can touch base briefly to see if I might be of help.
