In the course of life, we frequently encounter problems that feel intractable. These range from conflicts at work, home, or even within the self. While most people, most of the time, manage to cope with these issues successfully, there are times when it is useful to seek outside help. I practice a form of psychotherapy that is broadly informed by the psychoanalytic tradition. This tradition emphasizes the importance of self-awareness through the exploration of the client’s emotional life and the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a means to healing. As a therapist, my primary aim is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space that facilitates collaboration between therapist and client. I am not, nor do I presume to be, an expert on your life and its circumstances. Rather, I see myself as a temporary guest, invited by you, to assist you in whatever way I can as you work towards your goals.
