Can you dream of a life no longer bogged down by your past? Relational psychoanalysis may be the right fit for you: it's an intensive, collaborative type of therapy that helps you make sense of your story, shift long-standing unconscious patterns, and create more space in your psychic world to live fully and freely. If you're looking to do the deep work and invest in long-term health, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
Psychoanalysis no longer entails lying on a stuffy old couch; it's a deep, 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 interpretation. 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. I also see patients virtually in CA, NJ, and NY.
