My goal in therapy is to help you have more satisfying and effective relationships, find a greater sense of stability and empowerment, and discover a greater sense of meaning to your life. Though the work sometimes takes great courage, requires significant hope, commitment, and strength, in my experience it’s well worth it. From the start, I work towards establishing a trusting relationship, communicating clearly and collaborating with you to make sure you are getting what you need.

Does your life feel out of sync with who you are? Would you like to feel more content? Let's explore together with curiosity and an eye towards developing a life that fits better. Would you like more harmony in your relationships? We can start to understand what challenges you encounter and how to work through them. You may be living with ideas about yourself that aren't necessarily "true", but based on stories you've been told and internalized from a young age. It is possible to learn about yourself and what you want, and by doing so you can live more honestly, make choices, and not react from a place that feels outdated.

Many children and adults are immersed in struggling to cope with post covid reactions. The isolation of lockdown and COVID itself has caused lingering symptoms of depression, anxiety, fatigue and ambivalence about re-engaging with others and with activities that are life affirming. To compound matters we are witnessing the slaughter of innocent human beings at the mercy of a mass murderer. Don't delay in seeking help if you are struggling to make sense of your life. Bring your partner, family or your friend group for a session. You and those you bring might be surprised by the therapeutic benefit of even one meeting.

I work with people who have anxiety or depression who may be struggling in their relationships with family members, partners, or friends. Other people are stuck in toxic workplaces and need support and coping skills as they plan their next steps. Some have ADHD, which does allow them to think outside the box but can also make daily life quite overwhelming. My background in the Arts (MFA) gives me an understanding of how Creatives need to learn how to tolerate rejection as they stay focused on their dreams. I have worked with first and second generation Americans caught between two cultures. I love helping people change their lives.

Why do people seek help? I think people in great pain have somehow lost their ability to navigate in the world. Depression, anxiety, and fear renders a person helpless and one cannot summon their old ways of being. Recent trauma or unresolved issues can suddenly alienate a person from themselves. Often people are wrestling with unexamined fears or emotions that have long been dissociated. In the safety of the therapeutic space, the client can confront that which is most difficult with the aim of once again feeling whole, thus able to pursue, with energy and pleasure, their work and relationships.

I believe that every individual can have agency in their life. I work with adolescents and young adults who experience anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. I provide a warm and empathetic space for clients to express themselves authentically, as feeling heard can be deeply healing. I use evidence-based techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, as well as mindfulness practices to help clients. These techniques can help reframe negative thoughts and calm the body. I empower clients to value their own strengths in order to develop confidence in themselves.

My approach to therapy is collaborative. Using a combination of psychodynamic, intersubjective and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I work with you to uncover long-established blocks and counterproductive ways of thinking about yourself and the world. The benefits this work yields are understanding and mastery over the issues which caused you to seek therapy and the ability to maximize your full potential. How do you choose the best therapist for you? Most important are his or her ability to be responsive to your particular needs, the therapist's breadth of experience, and a mutual feeling that it is a "good match."

Psychoanalysis has been a lifetime passion and dedication in my understanding of our journey in our lives. I believe psychoanalysis gives us space to think, understand, and be able to tolerate what seems to be unbearable, frustrating, and hopeless as well as relief from interpersonal difficulties or obstacles to achieving professional and personal goals. Creating a safe, trusted, and nonjudgmental atmosphere helps talk freely about thoughts, feelings, memories, hopes, and wishes. Gradually one acquires a deeper awareness and understanding of repeating patterns and develops new ways of thinking.

Choosing a psychotherapist is rarely an easy decision. Can I trust this person? Will she be able to help and understand me? I believe that feeling respected and heard is the first step in a therapist-patient relationship. It is a necessary prerequisite to meaningful change in a person's life. People come to me with many concerns that can rob them of optimism and hope. I work to help individuals and couples overcome obstacles, value themselves and each other more, and help find meaning and connection in their lives.
