The work we do together is about discovering what you don't yet know about yourself—the hidden patterns shaping your relationships, your choices, and your sense of who you are. With 25 years of clinical experience and advanced psychoanalytic training at NYU's Postdoctoral Program, I offer insight-oriented psychotherapy that goes beneath symptoms to understand what drives them. This is depth work that creates space for genuine transformation and vitalization.

My work centers on identity, recognition, and belonging—particularly among gay men navigating shame, desire, and authentic connection. My research on despair and suicidality brings both scholarly depth and clinical expertise to adults facing relational pain, addiction, trauma, or questions of self-worth rooted in early experience.

If you're looking for something deeper than symptom management—work that can genuinely change how you experience yourself and your relationships—I invite you to reach out. This kind of therapy requires commitment and curiosity, but it offers the possibility of living with greater freedom and authenticity.
