I will work with your child or teen, and also with you to feel better.
Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.

Being a teen can be tough, so many ups and downs and feelings that seem out of control.

You don't have to do it alone because I am here to help. My goal in therapy is to work with you to explore what brings you down and to help and support you in finding what makes you whole.

As a psychoanalyst I believe that an individual's feelings and behaviors are motivated by a variety of unconscious factors often resulting in people feeling stuck. Psychoanalysis helps individuals finally break these habits by understanding their root causes and enable significant changes at the very core of one's emotional responses. Using these experiences, the analyst helps the patient work on a deeply unconscious level to eliminate unproductive and destructive patterns. This opens the patient to new, fresh and genuine experiences and solutions in their lives. This process is achievable through empathy and respect.

Whether you are trying to help your child improve their relationship with school, helping your teen make the most of their college experience, or decreasing stress on your fertility journey, I am happy to help.
Are you or your child struggling? Does your child display anxiety more often than it seems he or she should? Are they missing out on an enjoyable, if not "typical" grade school or college experience? Or, maybe you are trying to conceive, and having difficulty feeling calm and seeing the outcomes you desire? Wherever you or your loved one is on their journey, I hear you and I see you. Our bodies are wired for stress as a means of protecting us from potential danger, but sometimes we get "stuck" in our stress response, which can keep us from our goals. I help clients challenge these responses to form more healthy, adaptable ones.
