Accepting Clients

My practice focuses on unearthing and impacting the unconscious root causes of problems (not just the surface-level issues).

About My Clients

I work with adults in individual insight-oriented psychotherapy. My practice welcomes all identities, genders, and backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with people who have not found much success working with other therapeutic modalities. I believe symptoms are manifestations of unconscious mental conflicts, and unless the underlying root causes get resolved, symptoms will continue to repeat over the course of a person's life.

My Background and Approach

During our sessions, you will engage in the practice of free association, which is expressing your thoughts openly and without censorship. My role isn't to offer solutions or tell you what to do. Instead, I specialize in asking questions that encourage deeper exploration of your inner world and in fostering a dialogue with neglected aspects of your psyche. Listening deeply and offering interpretations, I will facilitate a dialogue with your unconscious and aid you in articulating and navigating the complexities of your subjectivity. Together, we'll explore the connections between your dreams, fantasies, memories, relationships, thoughts, feelings, and desires. I offer a nonjudgmental space of confidentiality where you can express yourself freely.
