Services
I work with adolescents and adults, 15 years and older, in individual and couples therapy. I welcome people of all backgrounds and identities. Many of my clients experience a notable decrease in stress fairly quickly through engaging in psychoanalytic work and beginning to express their difficulties to someone who is willing to listen.
I offer the following services:
​
Psychotherapy
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy focuses on immediate concerns affecting your life now. The aim is to address the source of the inner conflict causing you difficulties in work and love. We would meet once or twice a week.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a more intensive form of therapy. In sessions, we explore dreams, desires, fears, and process the therapeutic relationship. We would meet three or more times a week. Psychoanalysis can inform you about the unconscious and how the past influences your current experience and relationships and help you move past these limiting patterns.
Couples Therapy
In couples therapy you can learn how to improve communication, increase intimacy, and develop mutual respect for each other. It can also help couples learn how to communicate needs and desires.
