Psychoanalytic Therapists in Carrollwood, FL
I think of my work as a way of helping patients make friends with themselves. I believe that we torture ourselves by holding onto memories that are painful. We play endless "tape recordings" in our minds that create anxiety, depression or compulsive behaviors. We repeat destructive patterns in our relationships which lead to isolation, shame, regret and guilt. Our choices in life become narrow and limited. Keeping unpleasant feelings at bay becomes our priority thus sapping us of energy. With the release of that energy prosperity can develop in all areas of life.

"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you are living?" - Bob Marley Sometimes we find ourselves seeking help and support when life hands us a path we aren't prepared to deal with.

I work to help uncover what my clients basic truth is, and in doing so work with anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, premarital, marriage, relationships, grief, women's issues, sex & love addictions, betrayal and low self-esteem. I am a Christian Counselor here to help you feel supported and encourage you.

I received my academic and clinical training at the University of Pittsburgh and its affiliated psychiatric hospital, where I have also worked on staff, and completed additional postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
I practice a form of psychotherapy called psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on underlying issues leading to problematic emotions and patterns of behavior. Most of my work has been in the treatment of borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia, though I have experience working with a range of patients and conditions. I have particular interest in working with people who have not previously, or only partially, responded to treatment. In addition to my private work, I hold faculty appointments in the departments of psychiatry at the University of Central Florida and Tufts Medical School.

You're tired of solving things at the surface level and are looking to go deeper and truly understand WHY you are the way that you are. You know your childhood has impacted who you are, but you're not entirely sure how to change the impact of it now. On the outside, you might appear accomplished and put together, but on the inside, you're full of anxiety, self-doubt, and a fear of failure. Sometimes you're afraid of disappointing the people in your life and you don't always feel like you're living for yourself. You're internally exhausted and feel like it's almost impossible for you to truly relax.

My specialty is Jungian and Psychoanalytic Depth therapy combined with action oriented CBT and ACT therapies.
Congratulations on taking this forward step towards counseling. I understand how difficult it can be searching and finding a therapist that is a good fit. That's why in my practice I prioritize building a trustful and deep working relationship with my clients. From this foundation, we may explore your difficulties, stressors, and dive deep into your psyche to untangle knots so you can be your best self. As Carl Jung said "the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are." I especially enjoy working with culturally diverse individuals and those who have previously found therapy unhelpful.

Whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or interpersonal conflicts within their support system, I assist them with taking a deeper dive into examining the underlying sources of their discomfort.

I am a candidate at Tampa Bay Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies (TBIPS) in contemporary relational psychoanalysis.
I strive to create a collaborative, confidential, and honest therapeutic space where each individual may feel safe to freely express themselves.
Often times the biggest of barriers that prevent us from connecting with our inner self or others lies within our understanding of experiences and perception of relationships. In a non-judgmental space, I offer to help make sense of those anxieties, emotions, and difficult relationships that weigh on your day-to-day. My approach to each client begins with diligent listening to their story to meet the person where they're at and create a therapeutic plan tailored to their needs.

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.
