I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.

Psychotherapy is very rewarding and challenging work. Anyone seeking to make themselves healthier needs to know that and be open to change. Despite how difficult it is to work through the issues that disrupt our lives, the reward is learning that life is a process worth living and improving on a continuous basis. I treat people with trauma issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, career moves, family issues, OCD, addictive behaviors, relationship problems and interpersonal unhappiness often beginning with providing psycho-educational information such as personal boundaries, basic human rights, safety, and coping and advocacy skills.

My approach is psychoanalytic—focusing on what lies beneath your symptoms, thoughts, and relational patterns.
You may be outwardly composed and capable—holding together family, work, or caregiving—while inwardly feeling depleted, misunderstood, or quietly unraveling. Many of my clients are reflective adults looking for more than symptom relief. They want insight, steadiness, and a clearer sense of who they are. I often work with individuals drawn to creative, caregiving, or intellectual pursuits who are ready to explore long-standing patterns with care and depth.

Psychoanalytic perspectives lend themselves to careful thought and a developing awareness of ideas and feelings about ourselves we may never have known or understood before.
I enjoy working with people who are curious about who they are and what feelings and ideas make them unique. At times we all become confused or discouraged in the pursuit of our personal goals or in the relationships with those close to us. It is at these moments we can use the help of someone trained to listen carefully and help us to untangle some of the misperceptions or distortions that may be getting in our way. It is a humbling and hopeful experience to embark on therapy to make change in ourselves.

I primarily use an insight-oriented lens influenced by psychoanalytic and relational perspectives.
We often come into therapy with a particular problem. Perhaps it is difficulty navigating a life transition, relationship troubles, or anxiety keeping you from achieving a particular goal. I provide an insight-oriented approach that emphasizes curiosity about one's self and trust within the therapeutic relationship. This allows us to better understand and manage the initial problem bringing you into therapy as well as facilitating a truly healing experience of self understanding and acceptance.

I utilize depth-oriented psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
If you are experiencing difficulty in a relationship, know that you are not alone. Many people in long-term relationships come up against intractable problems at some point. I see couples and individuals for concerns about infidelity, sex, escalating conflict, diminishing connection, concerns about parenting, and disagreements over major life decisions. Sometimes, couples come for counseling because they are considering divorce and are trying to decide if they will proceed.

I use an active relational psychoanalytic approach to make meaning of psychological and emotional difficulties through an ongoing therapeutic conversation.
Therapy offers a safe holding space to explore oneself, to grow, to carefully unpack what is at the root of every discomfort in living—worry, fear, regret, anger—new frustrations and old ones. Finding the right words to name our internal conflicts reveals how we attempt to master the past by repeating our patterns in the present. Bringing this struggle into full awareness offers a fresh opportunity to work our issues and outgrown ways of relating toward final resolution. Such reflection and the articulation of inner experience imparts more freedom and equanimity to our choices, and opens us up to feel more passionate and alive.

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.
