You are functioning well by most measures. But something is off — a pattern that keeps asserting itself, a relationship that costs more than it should, a sense that the person you are at work or at home is somehow not quite the full version of yourself. You've thought about it carefully. Thinking hasn't fixed it.
I work with people ready to look at what's actually happening — not just manage around it. As a Ph.D. clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, I move easily between deep psychology and the practical: how to hold your ground with a difficult colleague, how to walk into a room and be seen, how to find words for things that

You're in the middle of something — a transition, a loss, a question you can't quite name. On the outside, life is moving forward. On the inside, something feels unresolved. You're not sure who you are anymore, or whether the life you're building is actually yours. You might have tried therapy before and found it helpful, but surface-level. You learned to manage. The deeper restlessness remained. What you're looking for isn't a coping strategy. It's meaning. A way of understanding yourself — and your inner life — that goes all the way down. That's what depth therapy is for.
