| עברית Most of our psychological life is unconscious. In my clinical approach, accessing this untapped self-knowledge is key to alleviating depression or anxiety, healing traumatic experiences, and going beyond unsatisfying patterns in your career, relationships, or sex life. I’m here to help you give voice to your inner life and open new avenues for creativity, meaning, and emotional expression. Therapy will be a space where you can say whatever is on your mind, unafraid of shame or judgment. By listening to you, I’d like to help you better listen to yourself.
I offer weekly therapy sessions, or — for those who are interested in more intensive work — multiple-times-a-week psychoanalysis. I treat each patient holistically — not as a bundle of symptoms, but as a complex person. This means that whatever has brought you to therapy would be addressed in terms of your unique life story and self-understanding.
I am especially attuned to how sexuality, class, race, and culture shape our histories and futures, and have particular experience working with queer and gay people. Through the work we do together, you will become more free and gain a sense of agency in your life: own your desires, accept your limits, and recognize new possibilities.
