Can you dream of a life no longer afflicted by the past? Relational psychoanalysis may be the right fit for you: it's a deep, collaborative type of psychotherapy that helps you make sense of your story, shift unconscious patterns, and create more space in your psychic world. If you or your child is looking to do the deeper work and invest in your health, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
Psychoanalysis no longer entails lying on a stuffy old couch; it's a rich, curious exploration of your inner world. We'll talk about anything that comes up: feelings, memories, and even dreams. One of my specialties includes contemporary dream analysis. Together we'll unravel patterns that no longer suit you and expand your relational freedom.
I love what I do. I learn from my patients every single day. I practice in-person in Los Angeles, and I also see patients virtually in CA, NJ, and NY.
