People reach out to me for help deepening their self-awareness and overcoming and understanding their anxiety, depression, relationships, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, fear of abandonment & intimacy, writer's block, imposter syndrome, career dissatisfaction, workaholism as well as other challenges. Some want to master difficulties which have plagued them for years. Others are confronting more recent conundrums. All seek more than a bandaid solution. Rather, they are searching for a more nuanced understanding of themselves, their relationships and how they live in the world. Their aim is a more fulfilling life.

People seek psychotherapy feeling unhappy or helpless to bring about change in their life or fulfill their dreams. Patients are overcome with symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse or other problems, which in reality are unconscious defenses, blocking repressed feelings about something that went wrong, often in childhood, which is not yet resolved. These defenses once were adaptive, by protecting and helping them survive, but are no longer effective. I help people work through their underlying grief and face their feelings (sadness, anger, disappointment, yearning, powerlessness) surrounding trauma or loss, enabling them to engage in more free, authentic, satisfying lives.

You’re a woman, a professional, possibly a mom, and certainly an adult daughter. The roles you hold are powerful in your life, sometimes creating strain, but also a source of motivation for growth. You’re doing a lot, working, possibly growing and raising a family, managing your desire to help those you care about but barely finding time to connect to yourself. You’re a problem solver, a helper, and people can turn to you for support, advice, a compassionate ear, but right now, you feel overextended and annoyed by the lack of support you have. On top of that, things within yourself feel “off”.

Do you feel like no one gets it? Better yet, no one gets YOU, not even yourself? Do you find yourself in the same cycles of bad habits, relationships, negative thoughts, personal crisis and just feel like the proverbial hamster on a wheel? Are you sick of the sound of your own voice saying you want things to change but they never do? Do you feel misunderstood and frustrated and maybe you're not sure what else to do or where else to turn? Do you feel like you've fallen into your life rather than created it? Maybe you feel like you want to change and don't know where to start? Do you want to feel seen, heard, healed, and hopeful?

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.
