Your Unique Path to Healing
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a powerful catalyst for lasting and sustainable change. This is particularly the case If you are curious about the underlying issues that drive your suffering or if you would like to get unstuck from unwanted patterns. Psychoanalytic therapy, at its core, is about embracing your full humanity.
I work with people from diverse backgrounds who are searching for a space to be seen and to grow. My style is thoughtful and collaborative. I believe in the importance of tailoring treatment to each person, rather than forcing people into one of the myriad clinical acronyms out there (though we can incorporate those too!"
I specialize in treating attachment trauma, co-occurring diagnoses, and relationship challenges. I believe in people’s inherent resilience and capacity to change.

Treating a variety of psychological conditions
Anxiety
Anxiety is a complex and natural response to stress, It is a normal part of life, but when anxiety becomes persistent, overwhelming, or disproportionate to the situation, it can interfere with daily functioning. By understanding the origins of anxiety, one can become more confident about managing it.
Depression and Dual Diagnosis
Psychoanalytic therapy for depression aims to explore hidden emotions which contribute to psychological issues, bringing them into conscious awareness in order to process and integrate them. Often, depression is compounded by accompanying diagnoses such as anxiety, addiction, or personality disorders. By understanding the the underlying causes and how conditions affect each other, psychoanalytic treatment seeks to provide insight, facilitate emotional expression, and ultimately promote psychological healing and well-being
Trauma
Trauma can significantly disrupt the development of a secure sense of self and impact one's ability to form healthy relationships. The cumulative nature of these experiences may lead to difficulties in regulating emotions, distorted self-perception, and challenges in establishing trust. Therapy can be a valuable healing agent toward living a full life while managing triggers in an adaptive way.
Relationship Issues
Psychoanalytic therapy can be particularly effective in addressing relationship issues by delving into family of origin dynamics and exploring blind spots that shape interpersonal behaviors and patterns. We can work on these issues in individual, family or couples therapy.
Identity, Creativity and Meaning
Psychotherapy provides a valuable space for individuals to explore, understand, and navigate the complex terrain of identity and meaning. I work with Issues related to spirituality, non-ordinary states of consciousness and creativity.
