Anxieties, insecurity, depression, difficult patterns in relationships or work, and problems maintaining focus can be understood and changed, so you have more energy and confidence to devote to living. Become more connected to yourself and others through a specialized process of exploration with a trained professional, and see a difference in your life. A therapist's expertise and experience are very important, but the key ingredient of effective therapy is a "good fit" between you and your therapist. If you'd like to see how it would be to work together, I would be pleased to hear from you.

Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals.

Anxiety on its own can be extremely challenging. To make matters more difficult, it often also comes with sleep difficulties or depression, which can make daily life an exhausting and frustrating experience. The good news is that with the right approach, it is usually possible to make significant progress in a short period of time. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and related difficulties (including panic, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and others). I have a particular specialty in the treatment of insomnia and sleep related disorders.

You may be someone who functions well in many areas of life—intelligent, thoughtful, capable—but in your relationships, something isn’t working the way you hoped. The same conversations repeat, leaving you feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or disconnected despite caring deeply.
Even with insight and effort, it can be difficult to change these patterns alone. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to relate in a different, more meaningful way.

In my years of practice I have had the opportunity to work with a broad range of people on a wide range of issues. The skills of the therapist, developed and refined over many years are of importance in the clinical setting. Helping clients access their emotional and cognitive processing is a significant component of the work. I work with individuals, couples and families who feel "stuck" to identify the underlying causes and work towards defining goals that will spell "relief". Collaboration and reinforcement are significant in the process in order to help achieve the goals that are established and help create change.

I’m a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst whose path to clinical work followed a long chapter in global leadership. Before this life, I spent decades leading teams across cultures—including as a CEO based in China—navigating complexity, ambition, and identity in high-stakes environments. Over time, though, I began to feel a dissonance between outer success and inner meaning. That shift led me to this work.

As a parent myself, I know the fears, anguish, and confusion you can have dealing with your child's or adolescent's struggles. If you are in a less than satisfying relationship, I can help you understand and effectively communicate your needs in a way your partner can respond to you. If you have an addictive problem, I can help you motivate yourself to overcome it. I provide a safe, comfortable, nonjudgmental place to heard. We will use intense problem solving methods to get the most rapid relief we can. We focus on your goals, not someone else's.

I historically had success in experience/education in working with young clients (adolescents, pre-teens, children), men of different ages, veterans (ptsd), immigrants, couples and families. Additionally, I further enjoy working with clients with behavioral challenges (eating disorders, compliance, addiction).
Schedule-wise, I have flexibility in the daytime, but I'm most available during the evening/night-time.
If this might be you or your children, we may be a good match!

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in life transitions, cultural dislocation, grief, and complex emotions. Drawing from both Western psychoanalysis and Eastern perspectives, I offer compassionate, nuanced therapy for those seeking depth, meaning, and growth.
Together, we work to uncover deeper patterns and reconnect with your inner resilience amidst anxiety, depression, identity struggles, or disconnection. I especially support professionals, creatives, and immigrants navigating new environments and the often invisible burdens that come with change.

I want to help you gain a greater sense of control over difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients often begin therapy requesting concrete tools to walk away with from each session. This is something I offer through my enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, with a dual focus on techniques for altering unhealthy thoughts and behavior, and for improving insight, awareness, and mindfulness. I have a long track record of creating powerful results for my clients.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or significant life or role changes. This may include men working in the trades or first responders managing high stress, substance use, PTSD or entering therapy for the first time. They may be functioning day to day but feel unsettled or unsure how to move forward. They need a space that feels supportive, not overwhelming, where they can be met with acceptance and honesty. Their goal is to feel steadier, gain clarity and find practical solutions that support meaningful, sustainable change.

In individual psychotherapy, we look at how you are currently living and clarify what is working for you and what you want to change. A therapeutic conversation heightens awareness of your feelings, thoughts, sensations and behaviors. With my support, you learn to use your growing awareness as ground for taking experimental steps in new enlivening directions. Our therapy process leads toward resolution, change and growth. I will help you apply what you learn in therapy to your daily life. Our working relationship is important, so the first step is to meet one another. I look forward to meeting you.
