I love being a psychoanalyst and feel privileged to be invited into my patients’ lives. I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, identity development, relationship difficulties, sexuality, and self-esteem, with the aim of helping each person develop a more honest, integrated, and satisfying sense of self. I also work with teenagers and preteens who are managing the emotional, relational, and developmental challenges of those formative years. My style is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and engaged.

In our work together, no subject, thought, or feeling is off-limits. I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which we explore your experiences with curiosity and openness. While sessions often begin with what feels most pressing in the present, we may also look at earlier relational patterns and experiences that continue to shape how you feel, think, and relate today. Attention to what unfolds between us in the therapeutic relationship itself can be an important part of this process.

Through developing a deeper understanding of yourself—and greater flexibility in how you relate to your inner world and to others—painful symptoms can begin to loosen their hold. Over time, this work can open up space for meaningful change, increased vitality, and more satisfying relationships.
