I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck. I work with people pleasers, big worriers, anxiety disorders, and experts in knowing their problem but not knowing how to feel better. Many of my client's have been labeled as "too self aware", intellectualizers, or over thinkers. With kids and teens, this may look like anxiety or nervousness, being withdrawn, or struggling with friends. Getting stuck in your own head can make it hard to be present and engaged in life. I challenge my clients when appropriate and use education to help fill in the gaps of why we are the way we are.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, emotionally stuck, or dissatisfied in relationships despite appearing highly functioning on the outside. Often these struggles reflect longstanding patterns that developed earlier in life and continue to shape present-day experiences. Therapy offers the opportunity to better understand these patterns within a thoughtful, collaborative relationship.

I aim to provide a setting where clients feel safe, supported, and invited to talk about what matters most to them. As I listen, I try to get to know each client on their own terms. Together we explore possibilities they envision for their lives – whether at work, at school, at play, or in love – and we reckon with inhibitions and obstacles they encounter.
Each treatment is unique, but common gains include greater emotional resilience, deeper self-understanding, more satisfying relationships, and fuller personal and professional creativity.

My work is direct, empathic, warm, and collaborative, with a focus on helping you find more ease, more energy, and a deeper sense of self-worth.

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.
