It is not uncommon for individuals considering talk therapy to put it off. Time. Money. Scheduling. But what about the cost of NOT doing talk therapy? What about the cost of stress? Unhealthy relationships? Limiting your full potential because of low self esteem or lack of self confidence? Impulsive behaviors that leave you feeling empty? The real bargain is living a life of healthy functioning. Working toward enduring change. Replacing those parts of your life that hold you back to make room for a life in which you flourish.

I focus on an approach from a psychoanalytic perspective, which centers around the idea that there is a core part of ourselves beyond our awareness.
You may be struggling with a specific issue or find that you are in a recurrent, difficult pattern. Therapy focuses on untangling what brings you in by exploring the past and present experiences that have shaped you. By understanding how you have responded to these events, I hope to support you in finding greater clarity, freedom, and fulfillment moving forward.

Maybe right now, life feels like both too much and too little. Too much work, too much stress, too much screen time, too many demands, and not enough care, sleep, laughter, or rest. Maybe you even feel a little stuck. Therapy is about getting curious about who you are, how you got here, and what it might feel like to live with more freedom, connection, and trust. I work with people navigating anxiety, relational struggles, identity questions, life transitions, and the ache of feeling like you’re too much or not enough. I view therapy as a place where you will both start to feel better, and get better at feeling.

With a psychoanalytic foundation, I bring sensitivity to cultural and systemic influences, providing culturally responsive care for deeper insight and clarity.
My ideal client comes to me looking to navigate the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural expectations. Often my clients have experiences that make them feel unique or alienated and create challenges within their relationships. This could be a mood disorder, a gender expression, or an immigration experience for them or their family. My client's goals often include: improved self-understanding, personal stability, and reduced distress.

Across the lifespan, we encounter stressors of all kinds. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking, and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, regardless of our age, the coping skills we've learned and developed let us down. Utilizing a primarily psychodynamic approach, my goal in therapy is to help you experience your life (including the good and bad aspects) in a real and authentic way, grounded in self-awareness and insight, so that you can better manage your feelings, thinking, and behavior.

I am a queer relational psychotherapist with a focus of working with the LGBT/Queer community. I work primarily with folks in the queer/trans/poly/kink community. Whether you want to use therapy to talk specifically about issues related to these identities or just want a space where you don't have to define a lot of terms, I could be a good fit. I tend to work with folks on relationship issues, gender transitions, long term trauma, managing mental health diagnoses (like biploar) and substance use issues. My official training is in psychodynamic relational therapy, which is a depth-orientated way of working.

Sometimes life feels unsettled—after a loss, a major transition, or when old struggles keep resurfacing. You may be carrying anxiety, depression, grief, or the lingering impact of trauma. At other times, it can feel less clear, more like something inside is “off” or holding you back. What unites many people I work with is the wish not only for relief, but for a deeper understanding of themselves and a more authentic way of living. Even if the exact shape of that change isn’t yet clear, therapy can be a space to begin exploring what might be possible.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, ashamed, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends who can’t understand, or guilt over what happened to you. It may even feel like this will last forever. Either way, you’re ready for some relief and actual change. You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without your past getting in the way. You’re ready to rediscover your true self. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself again & to face your future with a sense of hope.

My approach is deeply relational, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, based in attachment and family systems theory, Somatic Experiencing, and Energy Fluency therapy.
Seeking therapy can be a daunting process, while also being one step toward greater wholeness/healing. Relationship is where we are both wounded and healed. I work with individuals seeking relief from distressing symptoms such as; demanding too much of yourself, finding it hard to trust self, trust your own experience, self-soothing through addictive behaviors, pleasing others at your own expense, anxiety, depression, CPTSD. Our patterns of relating develop early within our first attachments, so our journey might include visiting some of those relationships to wonder how they impact you in the here and now.

I specialize in developing confidence and self-assurance. Shifts in identity, whether in how you see yourself, who you love, or the direction you want your life to take, can feel confusing or overwhelming. You might find yourself questioning who you are, feeling out of step with others, struggling to trust your own choices, or noticing patterns that leave you frustrated or anxious. Together, we’ll create space to make sense of these experiences, understand what’s driving them, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and ease.

I love to work with individuals who are struggling with the big questions of life. These often surface during times of transition. This time of transition might be the result of loss such as death, divorce, or the end of relationship. This transition could be a time of entering into a new season of life. Sometimes we are longing for transition and yet we are feeling stuck and unable to find our way forward. There is such fertile ground here, I would be honored to accompany you.

It can be a difficult decision to seek out therapy. The process of finding a therapist is often frustrating, tedious, and painful - having to tell your story over and over, without any guarantee that the stranger in front of you will be able to help you with what you're struggling with.

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.
