I work with individuals who are competent and accomplished in many areas of life, yet find themselves grappling with questions that success has not answered. They may feel a quiet dissatisfaction, a sense of disconnection that persists even in the presence of others, or a sense that something important is missing. These experiences aren’t always easy to articulate—but they can be illuminated, understood, and worked with over time. I also work with couples who want to deepen their connection, navigate recurring conflicts, or better understand the emotional patterns shaping their relationship.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy explores how past experiences shape present patterns. It invites reflection and emotional insight, not quick fixes. For those seeking clarity or direction without committing to in-depth treatment, I offer psychological assessment to support self-understanding and provide practical guidance in a time-limited format.
Reach out to schedule an appointment with me. We'll talk about what you’re looking for, answer any questions you might have, and consider whether working together feels like a good fit.

Research shows that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is effective for a wide range of emotional difficulties including anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. It is also particularly well suited for those grappling with questions about identity, meaning, and their sense of self. Such concerns may not fit neatly into diagnostic categories but nonetheless affect how one experiences life.

A substantial body of research supports the effectiveness of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, particularly for people seeking deeper, longer-lasting change. While short-term therapies that focus on symptom relief (like CBT or DBT) can be helpful, studies show that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is unique among modalities in that it can lead to continued improvement even after therapy has ended.
