About My Clients
I work with clients who want to know themselves in a deep way and are seeking help understanding their minds in order to work through unresolved, unsatisfying, or stuck places in their lives. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss and grief, self-destructive behavior patterns, relational difficulties, trauma, uncertainty about their identity, or are seeking to go deeper in their therapeutic work.
My Background and Approach
Throughout life we acquire strategies to cope with difficult experiences and protect against painful emotions. However, many of the very strategies which protected us, can get in the way of living a full and fulfilling life. When these reflexive ways of relating can be examined, the possibility for change opens up. I offer both psychotherapy and psychoanalysis under supervision. Psychotherapy helps individuals make sense of their thoughts, behaviors, and experiences (past and present) in order to find meaning in their symptoms and greater freedom for development and growth. Psychoanalysis is an intensive form of psychotherapy which seeks to go beyond symptom relief and toward resolving stuck places which constrict the patient’s ability to live freely and creatively. Psychoanalysis is a unique committed working relationship between patient and analyst which makes use of the present moment and the unconscious as the grounds for powerful self-understanding.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Change doesn't happen in a vacuum. We need another dedicated mind and emotionally attuned presence to be able to see ourselves clearly and bear the growing pains of change. The gift of therapy is that we have the opportunity to develop new ways of being within a safe and non-judgmental relationship. Although, the emotional work of therapy can be painful at times, it also offers us the rich opportunity to know more about our whole, complex, and evolving selves. Therapy can help us build healthy and satisfying relationships, expand our creativity, and strengthen our internal resilience towards life’s inevitable losses and challenges. The opportunity to become more fully yourself and feel more alive is the most valuable gift you can give yourself. Clients of all races, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and faiths are warmly welcome. To learn more, please reach out. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you on this very important journey.
