My practice is based in psychoanalytic theory with a deep regard for personal autonomy and a recognition of the political and social forces that shape our realities.
The experience of suffering is unique for each individual and deserving of respect and attention. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and be heard. Using language as our medium, I listen closely and with curiosity to hear your questions, fears, and desires. I wonder with you in a collaborative process how your narratives have been formed and intervene to support revisions, bringing you into greater alignment with your history and personal truths. Putting words to experience lays the groundwork for greater mental freedom and lasting change to take place.

The majority of clients I see have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, and are neurodivergent (ADHD/AuDHD) in one way or another. Some have identified their needs while others need the space to explore and discover what's holding them back. I work best with clients who are open to gaining insight and developing skills to cope. Therapy is an interactive process and clients can expect me to be active during sessions. No one wakes one day and suddenly becomes the person free of anxiety, avoidance of discomfort, and executive dysfunction. My ideal clients want not only the space to feel heard, but the skills to better cope.

"I believe that compassion for oneself is the key to feeling better. When we can stop idealizing and stop trying to be what we're not, we can learn to have compassion and acceptance of who we really are. Accepting our human condition with its limitations, leads to self-knowledge, which leads to growth and ultimately to comfort within ourselves.

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.
