In my clinical work, I help individuals, couples, and families, develop a more complete and compassionate understanding of themselves.
If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or another kind of emotional distress—particularly symptoms like intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, signs of OCD, or the lingering effects of past trauma or abuse—it is possible to find relief through therapy. I'd like to help you start to make sense of things.
There are no shortcuts to a deeper understanding of oneself. The insights I’ll help you uncover in our work together, however, can serve as the foundation for a more integrated, empowered, authentic life. Grounded in Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, my approach focuses on listening closely for manifestations of the unconscious in speech and desire.
I have particular experience treating BPD (borderline personality disorder); treatment-resistant OCD; and working with high-conflict couples and families.
Drawing on both psychotherapy and my ten years’ experience as a university teacher of philosophy and religious studies, I also often work with individuals troubled by personal, existential concerns.
