I see patients in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis who are interested in depth-oriented work to foster significant change in one or more areas of their lives. Working collaboratively, I help patients to free up and liberate the parts of themselves that feel stuck, sedimented, or otherwise lacking in vitality, creativity, and potential. I work with adults individually as well as couples. I also offer relationally-oriented group psychotherapy.
In addition to depression, anxiety, and relational concerns, I specialize in working with trauma, genderqueer, trans, and LGBT+ patients. I also work with artists, musicians, writers and those wishing to explore and free up their creative energies. My practice welcomes patients of all genders, sexualities, racial/multicultural backgrounds, and abilities.
In addition to private practice, I am Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. I am an active member of the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center, International Assoc. for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, American Psychological Assoc., Ohio Psychological Assoc., and American Group Psychotherapy Assocs.

Groups
Relational Psychotherapy Group
This psychodynamically-oriented group encourages members to develop and explore their relationships with others as well as themselves. The group is experiential in nature, with members working to increase awareness of recurring interpersonal patterns that affect their sense of self and relationships. Concerns addressed by the group include deepening relationships, expressing feelings without alienating others, feeling more comfortable "in your own skin", learning to be more spontaneous, worrying less about judgement, increasing awareness of how others see you, and increasing resilience in relationships. Pre-group consultation required.
