You may find yourself cycling through anxiety, and self-doubt; a sense of confusion about life as it is. You might finally feel ready to process unresolved past experiences. I provide psychoanalytic therapy for adults and adolescents. I'm guided by my cross-cultural education and psychoanalytic training, and practice through an anti-racist, anti-sexist, LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. I have particular experience helping people navigate life transitions, relationship conflicts, and trauma histories.
I help patients find relief by exploring how patterns of thought and emotion have shaped their lives. My approach is collaborative, recognizing the importance of how identity and culture arises in the therapeutic process. Each session has the potential to unearth a new perspective and sense of being as self-understanding develops.
I believe therapy should be a grounding, nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely and hear yourself think in new ways. Over time, this process can open the door to greater clarity, creativity, and acceptance. If this resonates, I’d be glad to connect. I offer initial consultations to see whether we might be a good fit.

Psychodynamic therapy is a depth-oriented approach that focuses on character — how you've learned to survive, protect yourself, and connect with others. Often the very strategies that once kept you safe can later feel limiting. In our work, we'll look closely at those patterns together, so you can understand them, loosen their grip, and begin to live with more choice and freedom.
