When working with patients, I take a holistic approach and assess from a bio/psycho/social/spiritual point-of-view. I believe assessing the whole patient is the best way to understand underlying problems/symptoms related to psychopathology. Most importantly, empathy, trust, a therapeutic alliance and rapport is of utmost concern; I want your therapy hour to be useful, beneficial, and enjoyable. My areas of specialty include treatment of sleep disruptions/insomnia, depression and anxiety.

I spent my first in the entertainment industry and am especially understanding and successful with creative individuals dealing with loneliness/ depression, life transitions, relationship issues and creative blocks.
Every client is unique and my approach varies depending on the needs of the client. At the heart of my practice is listening carefully and maintaining a stance of curiosity with the goal of trying to understand my client's unique experience in the world. I believe the most important factor of successful treatment is not theory or technique but the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. I work collaboratively with a warm, empathic, down-to-earth style that helps individuals feel comfortable, where dialogue and the process of reflection and exploration allow insight and growth to develop.

I am a psychoanalytic therapist who works with repetitive relationship problems, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression and men's issues. These often show up as poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and disconnection, false-self, obsessions and addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Sometimes people feel that something isn't right, but they aren't sure what. When friends, family and self-help aren't enough, I take the time to get to know you and listen for what repeats itself in your thoughts and actions.

Often pain, anxiety, discontent or depression in our lives is telling us something. Our emotions are eloquent communicators. Through the process of therapy we can learn to utilize this information. With self exploration and new insights, we can consciously create richer, more meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Even in the best of times, people have recognized the benefits of addressing, through counseling, the difficulties that limit their personal and work lives. In these very challenging times, familiar coping strategies may no longer be working and the insight gained through therapy can be even more valuable. In a safe, respectful, confidential environment, you can learn how to build more effective ways to relate others, reduce stress, and live more authentically.

Working in community mental health has allowed me to effectively identify feelings of anxiety, depression and/or relationship issues.
Seeking therapy and exploring your mental health needs can sometimes be a daunting decision. Feeling ambivalent toward therapy is common; To minimize any uncertainty one might feel, I incorporate Strength-Based and Recovery Oriented therapeutic interventions. As adults, many of us experience some form of anxiety, panic or feelings of hopelessness when navigating our day to day routine and/or interpersonal relationships. I emulate your personal goals and incorporate them into our therapeutic relationship to develop and formulate coping skills that are best suited to minimize the identified stressors.

My experience includes treating symptoms such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem and self-image issues as well as relationship issues.
Life can be complicated, full of change and challenges. Although we have all come up with ways get through these times or cope, sometimes challenges persist, resurface or feel overwhelming. Significant change requires deep personal examination, something difficult to do on our own.
Psychotherapy is an effective way to help us understand our behavior and its connection to our inner emotional experience. It helps to resolve common problems that often impact our daily functioning including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, bereavement, and difficult life phases. Psychotherapy is a supportive process promoting exploration, growth and change.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic health issues, and self-image issues using a variety of techniques including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy among other techniques based on the needs of the client.
For BIPOC people and LGBTQIA+ folks, finding a space to be their authentic and unique selves feels impossible. Those of us who have been "othered" live in a world full of oppression as well as hurt, pain and trauma. This oppression leads to depression, anxiety, image issues, substance abuse, risky behaviors and self harm. My role as a therapist is to create that safe environment to work through the trauma, re-write the narrative and empower people to be their best versions of themselves that fosters love, acceptance, and healing.

HOW I WORK:
During the first consultation, I learn about my client's primary concerns. If he or she wants to learn practical tools to cope better, I use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, such as relaxation and assertiveness training. If the client wants to work more deeply on issues that interfere with living a happier, more fulfilling life, I use psychodynamic psychotherapy.
STRENGTHS AND INTERESTS:
I often work with people who have health problems because anxiety and depression cause or exacerbate many physical disabilities. Relaxation techniques and hypnosis can help minimize pain and anxiety.

When we are feeling depressed, anxious, frustrated or stagnant, that’s a signal that something is pinching us off from our natural wellbeing. What is that thing or things? Psychotherapy is one pathway to understanding. Through therapeutic conversation, we will explore different ideas and experiment with new thoughts & behaviors to unpinch ourselves and allow our natural wellbeing to flow. And, as we feel increased satisfaction about our life, we are open to increased satisfaction in our relationships, work and future.
