Therapy can be casual or intense (often, it's both!). It’s okay if you’re not yet sure about exactly what you need. We’ll work together in a way that feels real and tailored to you, focusing on lasting growth over quick fixes. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve supported people through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues—or simply the desire for a more fulfilling life. You don’t have to settle for feeling “fine.” Wanting more isn't just not okay—it’s natural.

Psychoanalytic treatment is a journey, not a destination - a path to greater self-awareness, acceptance, and fulfillment.
I know how difficult it is to talk about our emotions and about things that hurt and make you feel depressed, anxious, or lost. I have dedicated most of my life to studying and practicing psychology, first, in my analysis to understand what was hindering my progress and what was causing so much suffering. Second, in my academic formation which is a way to help others find their true desire and fulfillment in their life.

Often people who come to therapy have already been struggling for some time: a feeling or way of thinking, relationship concerns, feeling overloaded with work or school, a particular loss or trauma, or just a general sense that something is wrong. You may know what you need, or may be unsure if psychotherapy can help at all. This is where therapy begins. I will work with you to develop a plan of action; if we can't come up with a plan that works for you within our first few meetings, I will connect you with someone who can.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
