Perhaps you've been recently diagnosed with a long term illness or you've had symptoms for so long you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)

As a psychotherapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I treat a wide range of sexual, relationship and intimacy issues. I work with individuals and couples. Sex is one of the deepest and most powerful experiences we have and it can also be a source of great stress and shame when things do not go as smoothly as we would like. Cultural messages and biases can further compound these issues. I provide a safe and nonjudgemental environment for individuals or couples to discuss these issues.

Are you tired of staring at the clock throughout the night, wishing you could sleep? Do you spend the whole day wishing for bedtime, only to feel wide awake when you finally get in bed? Do you dread sleep because of your nightmares? Or maybe you're sleeping too much because you just don't have the energy to get out of bed. Maybe your brain focuses on every terrible thing that could possibly happen. You may have gotten "helpful" advice to "snap out of it." A popular local plumber states "We repair what your husband fixed." You would call an expert to fix your pipes, and your mental health deserves the same investment!

Psychoanalytic therapy is an invitation to speak, and to be heard, in the singularity of your suffering and truth. It affords a space for speaking to what has been repeating itself in your life, and what has been difficult or impossible to say thus far. In our contemporary world of standardized diagnoses and generalized treatments, I encounter your uniqueness as a person emerging from a particular conscious and unconscious history, as disclosed in dreams, fantasies, and the telling of your story.
