The majority of my experience has been working with males, adolescents men, young men, men starting a family, or men who have lost a family. The need for competent male therapist's to connect and understand men's issues is vital. Women also can benefit from the perspective of a male therapist when they need help meeting their partner's needs, or when raising a rebellious child.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist who works with people to achieve a personal sense of well-being and vitality. I believe our life struggles are rooted in our unconscious. Due to imperfect childhoods, we develop defenses to help us cope. While we needed these defenses as children, they can become obstacles in our adult life, since they block our true feelings and greatest potential. I will actively collaborate with you to uncover these defenses and empower you to live a full, authentic, and joyful life.

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.
