A lot of our struggles come from being cut off from who we really are. Early in life, we learn ways to protect ourselves from pain, by pushing down feelings, staying quiet, or trying to keep everything under control and those strategies make sense at the time. But over the years, those protections start to feel less like shields and more like walls keeping us disconnected from our needs, desires, and even joy. Therapy with me is a space where all parts of you are welcome. A space to slow down, get curious, and connect with what really matters to you. You don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need to be willing to begin.

Are you feeling unsettled in your life but not sure what would help you to feel better? Are you feeling stressed out by your relationships in your life? When we are struggling with daily challenges, our connections with our significant others, family members, children and colleagues can be affected. Sometimes we then try to anxiously fix things and other times we just withdraw into our own minds. While all of this can be normal, it can be stressful trying to figure out how best to move forward.

Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you find that anxiety, fear of judgement from others or symptoms of ADHD prevents you from meeting new people, creating deeper connections with acquaintances, finding a romantic partner, speaking your mind or attending social events altogether? Is it hard to show your real self in social situations or at work, so you "mask" or hide that part of yourself, because you find it difficult to accept who you are and criticize yourself often? Well, this doesn't have to be your experience forever.

My view of people was shaped in childhood by two cultural touchstones: Fred Rogers and the album Free to Be, You and Me. Helping people work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and life’s many stressors begins with reconnecting them to their inherent worth. I see my role as coming alongside clients and supporting them as they move forward with greater self-compassion and resilience. As clients heal from current challenges, they often develop the flexibility and insight needed to reduce future suffering related to depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and trauma.

I'm a practice Lacanian psychoanalyst who is a member of the New Lacanian School (NLS), the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP), and a Doctor of Clinical Social Work (DSW).
My clinical style is collaborative but non-directive, meaning the patient (the expert in their lived experience) leads our work together, as I use my clinical skills to reveal what is happening under the surface of the patient's speech and draw attention to unconscious manifestations. Through this process, I work with my patients to co-create space for those innermost beliefs, often hidden and originating from family history, to be examined.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
