If your symptoms are real but your workup keeps coming back clean, you're not imagining it — you're in health psychology territory. Chronic pain, chronic illness, unexplained physical symptoms, the anxiety that never fully switches off, the burnout no vacation erases. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents on all of it — combining somatic approaches, pain reprocessing, and evidence-based care with a real understanding of what happens to the body when it has reached its limit. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. Neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works.

My ideal client might not fully know what's happening with them but is willing to try to figure it out. My ideal client also understands that I, as their therapist, am here to serve their mental health needs that are within my scope of expertise. If their needs are outside of my expertise, I will do my best to refer them to someone who can better support them.
Lastly, my ideal client is someone who knows that they are the expert on themselves and the therapist is there to offer support for the client to decide what next steps work best for their current goals.

The pressure is relentless. So is the feeling that you're facing it alone. Maybe there's an anxiety that never fully switches off, a loneliness that lingers even when you have people around. Or symptoms your doctor can't quite explain. You've tried things. They help, until they don't. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. But then again, neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works. The medication that was supposed to fix it — didn't. Suggesting more journaling felt like an insult. I get it. Being told it's stress when you know it's more than that — I get that too.

I work with highly sensitive, self-aware adults who are high functioning but feel stuck in the same relational patterns. Many have experienced relational trauma (family trauma, narcissistic abuse, or intimate partner violence) and learned to stay safe by over-functioning, over-adapting, or disconnecting from themselves.
My primary offering is Connected Within, a group psychotherapy experience where insight becomes action. The group acts as a therapeutic social microcosm, allowing you to practice new ways of relating with other group members with support, structure, and intention.

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.
