Together, we will manage feelings stirred up by isolation, loneliness, anger, self-criticism, and low self-esteem. I use my expertise to teach you to handle anxiety, anger, and depression. Clients often rediscover childhood creativity and make quick progress. Why pay high psychiatrist fees when you can see a certified psychoanalyst for less and achieve better results?
My psychoanalytic journey includes a master's in social work from Columbia University, training at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and adult certification from APsaA. I also gained expertise in child work at the Ryther Child and Anna Freud Centers and became a Fellow of the American Board of Psychoanalysis (FABP).
My clients typically tap into childhood creativity to confront personal challenges and gain self-awareness. I can offer guidance on adopting a healthy lifestyle, encompassing nutrition, exercise, relaxation, sleep, and social connections.
