Psychoanalytic Therapists in South Miami, FL

I am a psychoanalyst and psychologist specializing in talk therapy for people who want to live freer, more fulfilling lives. Together we can help you overcome long-standing obstacles and achieve long-desired goals. My approach combines contemporary psychoanalytic principles to help us make sense of your struggles and pragmatic, solution-focused approaches for working through them. We will explore your unconscious patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior and the significance of your present-day choices and realities. My goal is to strengthen your self-awareness and use it to make real, significant improvements in your life.

I am interested in helping people and couples explore and confront thoughts and behaviors that are self-defeating and limiting their potential in life. I believe that our thoughts and behaviors not only influence how we act, but also how we feel, and even our physical health. I offer mind-body centered psychotherapy. When we work together you will be welcomed in a warm, respectful, relaxed, environment. One that is open, trusting, non-judgmental, and centered on your needs and desires. This will allow you to uncover the source of emotional pain, and arrive at pathways for greater balance, joy, and meaning in life.

Now accepting new patients. Since childhood, I've harbored a deep desire to assist others, finding profound joy in making a positive impact on someone's life. Hailing from an immigrant family with modest means, I enlisted in the military to pursue my educational aspirations. Throughout my military service, frequent relocations afforded me the chance to engage with individuals from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned to appreciate our differences. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside.

Emotional pain goes by various labels--anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unrewarding relationships, addiction, etc--but it has common pathways. Otherwise there would be no treatment for it. No one wants to feel pain. It hurts, by definition. But can you use your emotional pain to motivate yourself to address the the issues that cause it in the first place? Can you learn to reflect, understand, and respond versus react to your pain and flee from it? It takes time, but re-training your thinking and behavior can yield valuable benefits if you're willing to invest in yourself.
