Your very act of reading these words is an indication that you have become curious about yourself and are interested in embarking upon a profound journey of self-discovery. Whether you are experiencing distress or simply wish to reach a more elevated and conscious existence, I welcome the idea of working with you. I work with adults (18 and over) and specialize in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy that works by addressing underlying issues that cause troubling symptoms. I also co-run a women’s trauma group and a women’s bereavment group. My aim is to help people meet their potential and feel more satisfied in their lives While most patients come to therapy in order alleviate distressing symptoms in their lives— symptoms such as anxiety, fear, addiction, and obsessional thinking—my process moves beyond addressing just the symptom. If we listen to what a symptom is trying to communicate, we can not only minimize that symptom, but also understand its true source. In effective psychotherapy, therapist and patient walk alongside each other on the path towards self-understanding. The creation of a rich therapeutic relationship, in which a common language is developed, allows for deep exploration and the ability to probe worries and concerns. This is an invitation to join me in this powerful journey.
